They do not need to call my home after 9:00 at night. I find it hard to be nice to the "student" who: wakes my children three nights in a row with a post 9:30 pm phone call and who tells me that because they are a non-profit they can call my home at whatever time they choose.
Furthermore, I gave my annual donation already and don't appreciate repeated phone calls asking for more money.
I had been called by 732-839-2044 every few days, then I left a message at 732-839-2006 for them to stop. Tonight I got called by 732-839-2008, but I wasn't home. I called 2008 and left another message to stop calling my phone number. It's all Rutgers Foundation or Rutgers Alumni, wanting to keep in touch. Then why don't they leave messages? I had been avoiding picking up the phone when they call when I'm home, but next time I will pick it up. I've read that sometimes no one is on the line when you do that, but I hope there is so I can ask to be taken off the call list.
I got a call from them as well being an alum of the university. I think it is great that they are reaching out and trying to keep us in touch. Plus its student's calling so be nice to them. They are just trying to help out the university as much as possible especially since budget cuts have hit them severely. Be nice and talk to them!!!

Repeated phone calls from "students" at Rutgers University. The caller identifies himself as a current student at RU who would like to speak to an alumnus about their Rutgers experience. The phone quickly turns into a solicitation for a cash donation to the school.
Callers ignore repeated requests to remove your phone number from their call list.
Also, callers feel that they do not have to adhere to FTC guidelines regarding the hours that they may call someone's home.
I received a call from this number at 9:46 pm on a weeknight this week. I did not answer and no message was left. I received several similar calls from Rutgers last year, and when a student soliciting donations finally reached me, she would not take "no" for an answer, even though she had records that I had donated to Rutgers earlier in the year. I guess it is just another questionable business practice conducted by Rutgers; pick up the Star-Ledger just about any day to read about others. I guess my last donation might have been my final donation.
