I got a call from this number. The caller said he was the Dean of the University of Tennessee. Efforts to call this number have been fruitless.

This is the police

Law Enforcement/Fraudster ..... same thing.  Probably some waste of taxpayer money and ridiculous at best.  They want to eradicate marijuana, cigarettes, trans-fats, dogs, fart-emissions, police car abuse by bullies (themselves), illegitimate crime, hate crime that is not 'black on black', home invasions unless they are being invaded because they love that [***]... they are armed, Anyone that can see through the [***] that represents their daily lives of 'enforcing the law' (read "I want money")  Stop calling me.

I never answer it... will not answer it.
Junk call... I would like to find this person and fix their phone with a hammer.

This is a call from the Univeristy of Tennessee asking Alumni to Pledge money to the University. Still paying you from when I was there...

Thanks for the post, ive been wondering who it was

Stop calling .....dont need your help

Not sure where you got my number, but you've been added as SPAM and blocked.

Another call, another block.  Just logging here for track record.

I have had numerous calls from this caller, but they never pick up. You can hear someone in the background but they have not spoken. Some say this is a fund raising effort, but no one speaks so I doubt it. I have placed this number in the spam file and blocked it.

This is the University of Tennessee students calling alumni asking for donations for student programs. These are not for tuition assistance. My daughter is a student there and works nights 4 days a week making these calls. It is a part time job for a student who is going to school all day and then having to be cussed out by alumni (doctors and lawyers and such). All they are doing is asking for a donation from alumni to support on campus support programs for present students. It makes her real proud to go there when she hears all this crap from the former students (and the richer they are, the meaner they are!). They always identify themselves as students asking for donations for student programs. The money doesn't go to the bureaucrats at the school! Just say "No thank you" and hang up if you are too cheap or poor to support your alma mater. Don't punish these kids who are working their way through school and are not "the little rich kids" who didn't have to lower themselves to getting a job while they were in school. I thought this would be better for her than working at McDonalds and such, but now I think McDonalds customers are a higher class than the alumni.

Jeff, thanks for the heads up. May God bless you and yours. Tell your daughter to keep smiling and do her best. My girl graduated in Dec. and is now moving forward in her life.

Thanks for your feedback.  I'm a UT graduate and I have gladly responded to these calls and gladly donated to support my alma mater and it's programs.  Unfortunately there are those that received a great education but have learned nothing about life and how to pay it forward.  Praise your daughter for me and tell her take those freshmen girls under her wing this fall. My daughter will be there too.

Just so you know, just because someone graduated from law school or medical school doesn't mean their rich (at all).  Most of the time, they're saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt and live on less than you do.  Your daughter is calling recent grads who may or may not have a job and very likely don't have the money to donate.  They don't need to be harassed by the University's minions into giving them money they don't have.  Your daughter should be ashamed.

Very rude caller from the University of Tennessee demanding that I give money that I don't have to support programs I don't agree with.  The rude telemarketer they hired started getting rude when I politely said "I'm sorry, I can't afford to donate at the moment."  Saying that I got a "valuable degree" and she "knows I'm making enough to donate."  Excuse me?  No thanks.
