Received 3 calls from this number, and finally picked it up today. The lady knew my name and tried to hawk NY Post and NY Daily newspaper subscriptions.
Recorded message indicates call(s) coming from Verifast ... Google indicates they are a marketing firm for newspaper subscriptions and make multiple ANNOYING calls from an automated dialer. Others have received similar calls from different numbers and have been successful in removing their phone#s by calling back and choosing the opt-out option. I immediately tried to call back 501 481 3055 to have them remove my number & reached "the number you have dialed is no longer in service ..." . Hope that's true & prevents future calls!
Call from this number came in at 3:32 PM 4/16. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick up. They left a recorded message about a "survey" & promised to call back. I hope they break that promise. Either way I won't pick up so they're wasting their time. Made no mention of newspaper subscriptions. Who subscribes to newspapers these days anyway?
At the time of this posting, this number was caller ID spoofed by:
It actually shows up as "Bryant A".
When you call back the number is disconnected.
The company doing the spoofing:
Ver-A-Fast Corporation
20545 Center Ridge Road Ste 300
Rocky River, Ohio 44116
Local: 440-331-0250
Toll-Free: 1-800-327-8463
FAX: 440-331-2701
And they were trying to sell subscriptions to the StarTribune in MN.
Seems like Ver-a-fast have been in business a long time, too bad they need to resort to tricking people into answering the phone. They should know better with all that experience.
I have send an email to Star Tribune complaining. I see others have posted similar issues with other numbers in the past over two years ago and nothing appears to happen. At some point, a cancelled subscription with a specific reason sends the best message.
