They seem to be taking turns calling. Not only do I get calls from this number but they are also calling me from two other area codes as well. They are all different newspapers apparently which have the same parent company is my guess. Everyday I get at LEAST 1 call from one of the three numbers. They never leave a message, or do they talk to you.
They call as this number 925-281-6420, as well as 415-535-0182 and 707-238-5446
this is SJ Mercury News when I called back they had a recording and they don't have caller ID. If you leave yr ph# they will remove your # from their list - supposedly!
For the last three days I have been receiving calls from this number. If it was just once a day, I wouldn't be as upset. But they call between 6-10 times Per Day, starting around 8am till about 9-10 pm. Three days of harassment.
I'm posting now because the exact same thing happened to me last year, around the same time. That time the harassing calls lasted about two weeks, just constant spam of my phone.
I researched the number last year, and discovered it was the Mercury News. A poster here named James, who supposedly worked for the company, posted here saying to simply add your number to a "Do Not Call" list.
I followed his advice and did so.
And here we are, exactly a year later, and the harassment begins anew. It's been 3 days. I do not want another two weeks of this.
If this is the way the Mercury News chooses to treat people, I hope they go out of business. I have never had a subscription from them, and, as I do not live in San Jose, never will. But even if I were to move there, considering this type of harassment, I would never even consider them.
If you are receiving phone calls repeatedly from this number, report them as harassment, or report them to the Better Business Beaureu
