I missed a call from this number, so I dialed back and it said if I wanted to be removed from their call-list , input number and it will be removed in 3 days......
I googled the number, and I found this website. I too have just subscribed to my local newspaper, weird!
Having read this website, I felt confident in answering the next time they called. The woman asked if we were receiving our paper as ordered. I said yes. She said that as a convenience, I could pay over the phone by credit card. I said I had already paid. She said thank you and ended the call politely. No calls since and that was a week ago!
This company seems to be what they say, contracted by our local newspapers. Just in case, I would advise everyone to not give their credit card #. Pay your paper directly.
