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.
They have been calling twice a day the last few days and I let my answering machine pickup and they leave a message that "Hello this is a service verification and we will call back later. Thank you" I will never answer.
If it's the SF Chronicle, that would make sense to me - I just recently subscribed for Sundays...but why no one responds and the call just ends, I don't understand...what are they verifying? whether or not it's a real ph # and not a "not in service" #...if so, then why the repeat calling?
