I just saw this number on my missed call list. I'm glad that I decided to take a glance at all the comments here. Thanks for letting us know it was the Washington Post. I cancelled my subscription with them a few months ago, but I'm guessing they want me to resubscribe.
This number calls on occasion, always trying to sell me a Washington Post subscription... Yesterday, another call came in and a woman with a very distinct voice said she was calling from the Washington Post. I said I was not interested and to have a good night. Tonight, the number called again, I answered, and the very same distinct voice said "Why don't you lick it?" and hung up... guess she took my not wanting a subscription to heart. LOL!
