It is a newspaper subscription service. I subscribe to the local paper (not the SF Chronicle) and have allowed my subscription to lapse. They wanted to know if I would renew over the phone. Not a scam.
Called office at 9:02 - came up "Verification Fr". I knew I should just pick up and hang up but I answered with the co. name. Naturally no one was there so then I hung up! Next time I won't bother - just pick up and hang up. Seriously, why would anyone SUPPOSEDLY in WA state be calling the east coast at 6:02 AM? Obviously the number is spoofed.
If you call and leave your number to be recorded does the phone calls stop. They keep using different numbers. I'm afraid to leave my phone number, it might be a scam to get your phone number and say your agreed to some new charges. would love to know more.
I got my call on Saturday evening around 7pm. They left the same call-back message referenced above. I would guess that they are an alternate electric service provider trying to get you to switch your provider.
