Guy said he was from the sj mercury news. Talked like the movie phone guy. Started on a spiel about some special deal. During a pause I said I didn't live in sj anymore, and he hung up before I was done with the sentence. Classy, sj merc.

Call came in at 8:20pm. I pushed answer and then off. I would not go back to mercury news again, thank you for telling me who I hung up on.

I called back, since I was just driving through Gilroy and thought it odd. He spoke really fast, calling me by my full name and asking me to confirm it...then he babbled something about extending and Oakland Tribune subscription. I told him I was moving.

Oddly, later that night I got a msg regarding a really old debt. I think it may be looking for info for collection agencies. just a thought.

also, they have called 4 times since.

Just received a call from this guy.  Has anyone contacted the Merc to see if this guy really does work for them?
