OMG - non stop for over a month (first call June 5, 2010) --- they call me before noon and after 5pm EVERY day  UGH!   It's soooo frustrating.  Even when I answer, no one is there!!!!   I think I'd rather talk to someone so I can "vent"  HA!   Thanks for the posts!

Have received many calls from this number...when I answer no one on the line.  Call the number and recorded message states that it is a non working number.  Anyone else getting lots of calls from the number?

Recieved couple of calls from the same number asking for people who dont live here.

Charels I get the same thing.  I am looking to block it.

This is a newspaper salesman...they suck. I asked to be removed and am still looking to block the number.

I get the same thing. It is starting to make me mad.

They called my cell phone - no message left and cannot return using that number.

Same thing for me, I pick up and no one is there and when I call back it says non working number.  It's always after 5... and on my cell phone

I pick up and no one is there.  Called it back and went to a disconnect recording.

i had the same thing...got lots of missed calls, couldnt call back. once though i answered and there was some girl who kept insisting i owed a newspaper 11 dollars. she wanted my credit card info... i told her i'd do it online on the website if that was the case and hung up. i called the newspaper up from their official number and it was all fake.

They call us about every few days. I have no clue who this is, or how they got our number. I've answered several times, but they hang up every time. We don't live anywhere near Minnesota, where supposedly the area code is for. If you get a call from this number, do not answer and instead block the caller.

they keep calling and when I called back it said the number had been disconnected but then called right back-WTF!

This is a scam. Don't give them your credit card number.

thanks for all the prior posts that saved me additional time and expense of trying to figure out who this is.

Did not leave a message.  Tried calling back and it is supposedly disconnected.

They called my son's cell phone. Asked for someone (couldn't understand). I told them they must have the wrong number. She asked if I was the lady of the house and I told her this is my underage son's cell phone (which it is) and we didn't recognize the number. She apologized and she hung up.
Didn't know who they were until we looked up the number online.

i just joined the group so i will follow your advice and just ignore. 651.2882873

Simple -- If you have call redirecting, just redirect the call to that same number!

they call me twice today at 5pm and 8.30pm.. i thought it was my husband callin from overseas...we are military - was sort of frustaded to see i miss the phone call twice but i google the number and i saw all this post.. so i believe it can be the az republic i just cancel my subscrition like a week or so. I dont owe them any money i actually got reemburze...will see if they keep callin ..i wish them good luck cause im movin overseas.

Kara,
This number started calling the day after I canceled my AZ Republic subscription. They're relentless! 5-6 calls per day. I wonder who they are.

I just cancelled my AZ Republic subscription as well (on 11/8/10) and just today(11/15/10) started getting this call. First came while I was at work at 12:20pm and just now at 5:23pm. I will be calling AZ Republic tomorrow!

This number called me after I discontinued my newspaper subscription. They try to sign you back up but are rude and pushy. I now just block the number. I wouldn't advise picking up the phone when they call.

I recently cancelled my newspaper subscription. They were the only "utility" that had my work number and ever since, I have been receiving various calls like this from all over the country.
bottom line, The ARIZONA REPUBLIC is selling phone numbers upon cancelations!

I just got the same call, and same message on call back.

i knew it was a newspaper salesman, but had no idea about the rest.  good to know.

I started receiving calls from this number on my cell phone about three days ago, around the same time I cancelled my newspaper subscription with the Arizona Republic.  I live in Arizona, not Minnesota.  Normally they call once a day but today they called twice - 9:05 AM and 6:52 PM.  I finally answered their call and immediately stated not to call me ever again and hung up...didn't say hello nor waited for "them" to speak.  Hope AZ Republic didn't sell my cell phone number to this scam company, especially when I know I do not owe them any money.

Funny, *I* started getting these calls after I cancelled my AZ Republic subscription too.  I could have written the other Kara's post (and it was a little creepy reading it, having a very similar experience with this caller).  I'm going to try her tactic and see if it works, because the Republic refunded me the balance on my account, so I know I don't owe them money!

OMG!  I just cancelled MY Arizona Republic subscription a couple days ago!  That is too weird.

Yup, same thing here.  Started yesterday after I canceled my AZ Republic home delivery subscription.  Thanks for the information guys.  I'll just continue to ignore
