A woman from the Star Tribune calling to offer an "upgraded" subscription. Very pushy - talked over me and was, frankly, quite rude. Ended up hanging up on her because she refused to listen to me.
I got a call today. The phone rang twice. I checked caller ID and it was the Star Tribune. I had just called on Monday to cancel our subscription (today is Thursday). Apparently after 29 years of getting the paper, the delivery person decided not to deliver ours for two weeks in a row. And being without the paper made us realize that we really don't need it. So when I called and cancelled, I forgot to ask them to remove my number from their telemarketing list. I did that today (I called the paper directly). The guy said it was removed. We will see!! I hope he's right. I did let him know that the caller let the phone ring twice and I also told him of the info I found on the net as to how rude the telemarketers can be. I hope my call was recorded.
