Who called from 2402107085

Received several calls with caller ID showing "Dallas Mng News," which I ignored at first. The Dallas Morning News went up $9.00 a month in one fell swoop, so I negotiated a promotional rate and am waiting for a corrected bill before I pay. I did call the number back and it was one of those boiler room operations calling people about their subscriptions.

Scam artist trying to get you to give him a credit card number to lower your news paper delivery cost.

Have received 7 calls from 240-210-7085 in the past 4 days. Tired of it. If newspapers think this is a way to get subscribers, they are sadly mistaken. I don't subscribe or take solicitation calls from ANYONE. Save your nickel.

Did a search and got the following results:

Contacted the carrier and stated that I am getting harassing calls from that number.
Carrier responded that they will investigate the matter and kill the number if they are found to be violating TOS.

YAY!

Your inquiry:
I am on the National Do Not Call List and the Texas No Call List.  As your company is violating both, multiple times a day, I am informing you that after I press charges, your company will be fined $10,000 for each of the National DNC violations & $6,000 for each Texas DNC violation. As I a getting a minimum of 3 calls per day, this will be at least $48,000 per day. To date, that is $720,000. Is it worth it?

I hope they take it seriously as I AM!
