ID just shows "Texas". I ignore it if I do not know the party. I'm from the DC area and I've had a washington post subscription which I never wanted in the first place.
Its a Texas area code that has been calling me twice a day for about a week now. They don't leave a message which is the frustrating part, but I too just cancelled a Washington Post subscription (which I never wanted in the first place...another long story) so I'm sure it is them. They probably have a 3rd party company making follow up calls to try and get people back. Newspapers are getting pretty desperate in the face of all this free online news that is available today.
I received 17 calls so far this month. I finally answered and found a solicitor for the Washington Post Subscription Department, asking if I wanted to start daily delivery since I was a Sunday only subscriber. The caller was asked to remove my number from the automated phone calling bank as I have advised them at least 10 times in the past I am "REALLY" not interested. She reaffirmed my number and I hung up. We'll see. The caller was polite. Those CowPersons must be hard up in Texas to have to make calls for the DC area. Or maybe no one on DC can converse properly - Who Knows
We have received calls from this number at least twice a day for over six weeks! When my husband finally answered the phone (I ignore it if I do not know the party) he was told the call was from a representative of the Washington Post asking if we wanted to partake of a special service to receive the daily paper free for a few weeks as we are Sunday-only subscribers. My husband said no, asked that our number be removed from the list, and hung up. That was last week. We are still getting at least two calls a day from these bozos! Guess they cannot take no for an answer...
Received calls from this number several times with no VM left and have also recently canceled my Washington Post subscription. I have marked the caller as Washington Post and have no plans to pick up the calls in the future.
