This is Strategic Marketing looking for the deadbeat Richard Garcia who gave up this number when the collection agencies came looking for him. He still gives this number out as his. These people want him to renew his local paper or pay them.

didn't answer, no message

constantly receive calls from this number and they never leave a message.  Thank goodness for caller id.

called at about 9:30 a.m., did not leave a message

They keep calling.  I tell them to stop and they just keep calling.

It is Media One, they are a call center for numerous papers throughout the country.  They are pretty relentless and aren't good at taking no for an answer.

I receive calls from this number on a daily basis. I have called back and followed the prompts to remove my number, I do this every time I receive a phone call. It is followed up the next day by another phone call. I have also canceled my subscription to the Sacramento Bee the the last month. I was able to locate the name and address of the marketing company the Sacramento Bee uses

This number calls often and I do not recognize the number. If I call back there is no one on the line. Want these calls to stop! They do not leave a message and no name comes up on the caller ID. MY NUMBER IS ON THE do not call list.

Being that this is a toll free nbr. Every call from a public phone cost the repient 30 cents. Lets bomb them with calls from public phones. I am doing it constantly

Calls at least once a day and leaves no message and hangs up after only 2 rings.

A***oles always hang up, don't know who it is.

Rec'd calls from this number every day for weeks. Never answer & no msgs.

Received unwanted calls for the last few weeks from Phone Number 1-800-980-5835 all hangup calls,I called back it was a none working number.Complaint was made to the Federal Trade Commission.

It's a call from a newspaper wanting your business

I have also received several calls from this # during the past 3 weeks, and as most others here, I didn't recognize the # so I let it go to VM - they didn't leave a message.

However, I'm on the East Coast and don't understand why a Sacramento newspaper would be calling me???  

Filed complaint with DNC Registry

Just answer the call and keep pushing the pound button..it will take u off their list....

These people keep calling and I am on limited calling plan. If I call back it is not a working number.

get a call from this number at least once a week, but no message.    

how we stop these companies/people from this harrassment?   didn't we put our numbers on a do-not-call list for this very reason?


I haven't answered when I see the number because I had heard somewhere, that after so many attempts with no answer/response, this automated service will stop trying to contact the number.

SacBee telemarketer has called several times over the past couple of weeks. Finally answered the call yesterday and they were pushing an offer to change my weekend subscription to daily delivery. I said "No Thanks" and hung up. They called back again today. I sent an email to Customer Service at custsvcs@sacbee.com and asked to be removed from call list or I would cancel my subscription.

I have received hangup calls on my mobile phone from this number as well as the other numbers listed below. Writers to this website have identified these numbers as being associated with the Sacramento Bee. That information correlates with my situation since I began receiving these calls about the time I switched from a daily  Bee subscription to to a Sunday only subscription. And, later I unsubscribed because of the change in the Sacramento's be vacation hold policy.

I was able to locate a real person with the Sacramento (California) Bee to help me deal with this problem. (I located him through this website: http://gethuman.com)

The person I dealt with at the Bee was helpful and efficient and I received an email recently confirming actions were being taken. It remains to be seen if those will be effective since I have received one further 10 pm hangup call since receiving an email telling me of the Bee's remedial actions. The email, in pertinent portion states as follows:

"I apologize that the people involved with this soliciting are not following the rules, I have sent this email to the person in charge of telemarketers, they will be reprimanded and you should no longer receive any phone calls from them."

Below I've listed this number as well as the two associated numbers from which have received the same kinds of calls:

888-576-0079
888-980-5835
888-980-5835

I don't know how much control the Bee has over its telemarketers since, even if I had a continuing business relationship with the Sacramento Bee, there telemarketers must pick up any call they have made within two seconds to avoid it being hangup call-obviously they are not doing that. They can also not call after 9 PM which they have done. Therefore, I have blocked those numbers on my Verizon account and have listed my mobile phone number with the national Do Not Call listing.

No one is there.

Did not recognize number. Let it go to voice mail. There was no message

I had same experience. I did not pick it up, but like Jen, I suspect it's the Sacramento Bee newspaper. I cancelled it about 2 weeks ago after being a 40 year subscriber. (Economic reasons).. I guess they go nuclear in trying to retain subscribers. This is sooo NOT the tactic.

Recd a call just now, she said she was with the Herald News.  I asked for my # to be removed from their list, was told it'll be 30 days, guess we will see if that happens.

I hardly ever answered the 13 times they called me, but when I did finally call back I got a machine that included instructions for removing my number from their list, but it didn't help. You have to block this one through your provider.

Called me 13 times in the last 6 weeks (ignored it most everytime). When I finally called them back I got a machine and followed instructions to have my number removed from their list, but then got another call today. Had to have my provider block their calls. So annoying.

Calls every other day, middle of the day.  Does not leave a message.

The call was a solicition for San Antonio Express Snooze newspaper.  Came during the dinner hour and was in violation of the DO NOT CALL laws.

Never a message, just a harassing call.  Don't even answer it.  Blocked the number.  Seems like no way to stop.  Even the DNC list doesn't work as I doubt  if it is even checked.  Who would want to do business with a company/person so rude as the caller from 888-980-5835?
