recieved call, didnt answer, no message....this has been happening since May started...

I am not a senior in high school and we have no children, and thus no children in school. My husband graduated college in 1999 and I finished graduate school in 2009, I paid my student loans off years ago, and it's all a long way of saying: there is no reason we should be receiving calls from any organization of the type described here. It may be a scam. I receive calls from this number three to five times weekly and they never leave a voicemail. Blocked the number via my Verizon service today.

Got a call today from this number today, didn't answer it because I didn't recognize it. I've been getting a lot of calls from unfamiliar numbers lately. Reading through the other comments, it sounds like a lot of people think its from colleges... I'm a high school senior too, so who knows, it could be

They can ignore it because "The National Do Not Call Registry does not limit calls by political organizations, charities, or telephone surveyors."

This number called me at school, please do not contact me again: for I am trying to learn.

thanks kenny for your input

I've been getting calls from this number too, but it's my business line.  Others are assuming this is related to colleges, but it's coming to my business line rather than my personal home line.  Nobody on the other end when I answer.

Give me a break.  These are people who are paid to make calls on behalf of the university, nothing sinister here.  They got your child's name from an SAT or ACT test or other college prep testing forms etc.  You don't have to be in Dayton OH to make a call on behalf of that university.

Dont give them any information!!

They called me today saying they were from a college in Dayton, Ohio. It was a woman's voice but I could her a man in the background saying something that sounded like "is it her?" so it was kinda weird.

I called back. The answering machine said it was RuffaloCODY, and that they help colleges universities and prospective students... Something like that. I googled them. It looks like they're a legit company.

Phone called today. I didn't pick up.

Was called by this number today. i am a high school senior and was expecting it to be a college from the San Francisco area that I applied to. When i answered, i heard nothing and the call hung up.

Got a call so called back and they play a message about collecting money for college etc. my son isa student at LaSalle University so i asked them to please call back so we could talk about them cutting a check for $5,000 for this semester Hope they can help I sure need it more than they do. LMAO.

They called me today and I had answered. I didn't say anything but on the other end, a woman was talking. The background noise was also loud but sounded like children running around.. I do not know anyone with this number :\

Please do not call!

Just received (2) calls in a row this this number.  I let the answering machine pick-up, no one, no message. I also have a Jr. in high school and have started to receive college/university correspondence, this must be tied to some sort of school list.  And why do they think they can ignore the Do Not Call list just because they're fundraising (if that's what they're calling it)?

Will never pick up their call.

My son is a current senior here in Virginia. Get tons of college calls however this number never leaves a message I ignore it

I am a senior and I'm pretty sure its a college number. I have been sending out applications and getting random calls from different institutions.

My son is a senior and this number and similar numbers call our house daily and never leave a msg.

i'm a hs senior and i've also been receiving a lot of calls from college organizations
which i never answer
so i'm assuming this is another one

Take me off your call list

Called at 4:31 pm PT on 19-July-2011.  Was not available.  No msg left on ans machine.  Caller ID shows "San Francisco CA" (415 area code is SF).  We don't know anyone in SF.  Been receiving a lot of fundraising calls in past 3 months from various numbers, no doubt computer generated numbers so they can't be traced.  These people are crazy to think that we would provide anything for unknown and unwanted solicitations.

Caller ID said San Fransisco, but caller said they were from Portland Oregon College. Asked for my daughter by name. Replied "That's funny because your ID says you're from San Fransisco." Then he said "Uhm....uhhhh..." and hung up.

I heard heavy breathing. Wasn't nice. A little weird.

Several calls from this number.

I got a call from this number and googled it, it came up as a lock smith from california

Got a call from this number. ID said San Francisco. Didn't leave a message. I am on the Do Not Call registry, so this was an illegal call.

When I returned the call, I recieved an automated response saying that it was a leading provider of fundraising services for "nonprofit organizations, liberal arts institutions, and private colleges, etc." I have received several calls like this recently all with different phone numbers including area codes.  I'm pretty sure it isn't a scam but I have never answered when they call and they never leave messages.  I hope this helped!
