Same story with me. I started getting calls from them on 8/8, and I paid for a new Sunday subscription to the local paper (Mpls Star Tribune) on 7/26. They call constantly, never leave a message, and no one is there when I answer.
Well, thanks for clearing that up. We just subscribed to the Sunday paper, and that must be what it is. I did pick up the call once, and after a second of silence got a recording telling me "your verification number is...". Verification for what? I did not write down the number.
This number calls a couple of times a day, and when I pick up there is a busy signal or dial tone, and then when i tried to call it, it was a busy signal. What does having recently subscribed to my local paper have to do with it?
