I've been getting many calls from that number or, at least, that's the number showing on Caller ID. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a telemarketing outfit attempting to sell newspaper subscriptions. Further digging makes me think it's connected to a company called Gannett Tel-Sel which may connect it to Gannett Publications which may connect it to the Commercial-News. It's terribly annoying!

I could be wrong, but I don't think the CN belongs to the Gannet group any longer.

I received two more calls from the number today. I answered the second one. Guess what I was asked? "Would you like a special offer for subscription to the Commercial-News?" I told them that I was unable to read newspapers and/or magazines any longer as my eyes are too bad so they said that they'd remove me from their call list. The Commercial-News is part of the "Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc" group. There appears to be a connection with the Gannett telemarketing division though or a connection with Tel-Sel.

A neighbor of mine got her first phone call from the number today. It showed up on caller ID the same as mine. She wasn't familiar with the number and happens to have a friend that went to Daytona for the 500 so she called him as well as other people she knows out of state to try to find out who had called her. She is a current subscriber of the C-N paper. I received two calls from the number today after they said they'd remove my number from the call list. I called the C-N (Amanda) and was told that they had contacted the telemarketer's location telling them to quit calling their customers and former customers. The C-N (according to Amanda) had received other complaints about the calls. I told Amanda that I was attempting to avoid contacting the FCC, but would if I was called by the telemarketers again. Amanda confirmed that the number I was receiving calls from was the same number as other complaints the C-N had taken.

I wondred about that my self, why would some one in Fla want to sell me CN sub. I told the lady I get it on line . she couldn't understand why I'd not want it in my mailbox.

Skip, I do get the CN here at home and have to laugh every time I start to read it.

I think it takes me 5 minutes to read the paper...sad.

Pull out a few classifieds, mostly Situations Wanted?, and it doesn't take much longer to read most larger city newspapers.  Newspapers are becoming very sad. I have also noticed NEWS is not always easy to find. Lots of personal opinion and expression in the reports.
