Called but left no msg

I got a call from this number on my work phone. I haven't called it back, but my phone said it was from UC Santa Cruz, which if I remember correctly is the area code and first three digits of a UCSC number.

831-459-3246 called me yesterday. This time I answered. I said "Hello" but-the caller hung up after a few seconds. I called the number a minute later, the line rang a few times, then it went dead. It's interesting that Bret said it was a UCSC number. I was a Santa Cruz student in the mid-1980s. Don't know if there is a connection, maybe it's a dejected fundraiser, angry at alumni who don't take his calls or send money...

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I called them back and I kept calling until the line wasn't busy and someone picked up. They said they were calling graduating UCSC seniors to ask for some donations or [***] like that. I'm not happy about the school using my information for this.

I got a call from this number today and when I answered they asked for me by name.  When I said that this is Nicole, the caller said "Uh," there were some shuffling noises, and the line went dead.  When I tried to call back, the line was busy.
