We keep getting calls from that number too and the recording says it's a Marketing company that does research for news papers. We're supposed to leave our number to be removed from their list, but like you, the box is full.
I receive calls from this phone number at least once a day on my work line.
Unfortunately, when I have picked up, they try to sell me a subscription to the San Jose Mercury News. I have not been taken off their list in spite of me saying that I'm not interested and that I would like to be taken off the list. I envy the people that pick up these calls and get either no one on the other end or a hang up.
This is very poor business practice as I have told everyone I know in the San Jose area not to subscribe to their paper. Word of mouth is the best way to kill a business, and this is a legitimate complaint. Why subscribe to a newspaper that harasses their target audience when I can get my news instantly for free?
As others have already reported, this caller calls numbers letting their phones ring, and then RUDELY hangs up with NO message. Telephone numbers most certainly on the DNC list too! Other online places I've found that are reporting the same calls by this caller are http://whocalled.us/lookup/4088081302 and http://phoneowner.info/Number.aspx/4088081302 . This behaviour must stop!
Please, all of you, file a complaint with the do not call registry (FTC) if you have asked them to stop calling and they keep calling, or if they call you with a recorded message:
San Jose Mercury news truly is harassing people with their telemarketing. I cancelled my account, and have asked 3 separate people to stop calling and I still get calls.
