I already subscribe to the News-Press and they just started calling me every 30 minutes trying to sel me a subscription! I told the last caller that if they called me one more time I would cancel my subscription and take out a classified in their paper with a link to website with my aggravating story!
Newspress has recently started making calls to the office where I work in Fort Myers. There are ~20 people in my work area, and the phones will go off one after another, someone usually exclaiming, "It's Newspress again..." in the process.
I told them a month ago that I am already a subscriber, on seasonal hold. They've called 3 times again this month. The first two times they hung up before I could answer. The third time I let them know, in no uncertain terms, that they are annoying me. I also sent an email to Melanie Payne ("Tell Mel"), who responded that she has received no other complaints re this.
If I were NOT a subscriber, these calls would be illegal, as my number is registered with donotcall.gov.
