I am in Wisconsin and have been called several times a day for past few weeks. All hours. Same thing for me as above... when I call I get all "circuits are all busy" computer voice. I am on the do not call list. My wireless provider lets me block a limited amount of numbers for free so I've added this one. Only way to stop it it seems. Frustrating!
I'm in Milwaukee and the same thing happened to me. I get these calls several times a day. Just start a few days ago. I recently cancelled my journal sentinal subscription. Maybe related?
I received a call from 405-283-8653 on 8/19/2013 at 8:03 PM indicating "Out Of Area." I did not answer the call, and my Internet research indicates that it was Metro News Service calling to attempt to get me to re-subscribe to the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel. Apparently this company handles sales for newspapers all over the country.
