Called 11 times so far, in just 2 days!  Never leave a message.  Sometimes call 2 or 3 times in an hour.  My CallClerk started blocking them after the 2nd call, but they apparently don't auto-detect the disconnect tones because the calls keep on coming. Can't tell if they're political surveys, home improvement scams, or bogus police charities.  I mention those because almost every other unsolicited call we've received in December has been one of those. (Thanks, 800 Notes!)

Just a follow-up:  Heard from my neighbor that this is an outside bill collection and subscription service company hired by the Orange County Register that NEVER leaves messages, but calls on past due and expired subscribers.  Doesn't do much as good PR for the OC Register, but then, the Register's Customer Service sucks, too.

Said they were the Press Enterprise newspaper and that my credit card ending in **** (the last 4 digits) wasn't working. Would I like to use a different credit card? This is regarding automatic payments. I said, "No".  I'll call the paper myself the next day and find out what the problem is.  DON'T GIVE YOUR REDIT CARD NUMBERS OUT TO TELEMARKETERS!

Said that they were the Press Enterprise of Riverside. Told me my credit card ending in the last four digits **** was not working, and would I like to give them another credit card number.  There is nothing wrong with my credit card. DON'T GIVE OUT A CREDIT CARD NUMBER OVER THE PHONE TO A PERSON WHO SAYS YOUR CREDIT CARD ISSN'T WORKING
