Received a call from this number Nov. 14 2008 at 7:05 PM. Caller was attempting to sell me a subscription to my local Newspaper, the Albany Democrat-Herald (in Albany, Oregon) The call however, was from WASHINGTON DC.
Our local Paper DOES NOT I REPEAT DOES NOT cold call people for subscriptions. I know this as a first hand FACT.
THIS IS A SCAM CALL ATTEMPTING TO GET BANK AND/OR OTHER FINANCIAL INFO.
These groups apparently seem to be researching their target communities with GREAT DETAIL so as to fool the people they call into thinking it is legitimate. IT IS NOT.

Someone from this number has started calling me two to three times a day which started three weeks ago. They don't leave a message. Sometimes, I will lift the receiver and drop the receiver in the cradle to disconnect them They don't call back until the next day.
This number called us in Corvallis, OR. I never answer calls I don't know and they didn't leave a message. The caller ID said Washington, D.C. I noticed all the above posts seem to be local in the Willamette Valley and very recent, just this past week. Is this a new scammer?
Exactly as others have said, the ID says Washington DC, I'm in Albany, OR. The guy identified himself as being with the Albany Democrat Herald and wanted to sign us up for the Sunday paper. I said no, he said thanks, that was it.
