This number has been calling my home every day at least 3 x a day. They just called again and its 7:30pm. GO AWAY!!! I do not answer calls that come up UNknown Caller!!

This phone # shows up at least 3x a day. It is 7:30pm and they just called again. I do not answer UNknown calls! How can I get them to stop!!!

We get at LEAST 3 calls a day from this number, for weeks now, always leaving the same message: "This is a service verification call. We will call you back later. *click*" On our caller ID it shows up as "Out Of Area."

When I did a reverse lookup on the number, it came back as an Oklahoma area code, but NOT a valid prefix, meaning the number had been spoofed. Take from that what you will.

I signed up for the Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribune about 3 months ago, and canceled it shortly after  (I only wanted some extra newspaper for garden mulch, I admit it!) Could this really possibly be the common denominator? I mean how many people in the country get the local paper? A huge percentage, right? It could be coincidental.

I've received 2 calls, one yesterday and one today.  I didn't answer and won't as I don't recognize the number.

Second call today.  First one at 11am, second one at 5pm.  Message left stating they will call again.  They can call as often as they want, I will NEVER answer to caller ID that is not familiar to me.

Yesterday they called using a different number.  Wish they would get busy and do something positive with their time and help people who are homeless.

Called me as well... don't know who they are. Left no message.

got a cut off robot message about service and will call again.

*It appears that signing up for a newspaper subscription is the common denominator--is this true?*

I just signed up to start delivery on the paper, and I started getting calls from this number.  4 or 5 in the last 2 days.

have been getting calls from this number every couple of days for about three weeks know  told them i was not interested and take my number off the list of course they keep calling usually i am not here and they are bothering my 94year old mother

I have been receiving a call a 9am and 5pm from this this number every day since 3/23/11.  I reported it to the DNC registry, since my number has been filed there for well over a year.  They don't leave a message and as someone already stated it is an unknown call from missoula, mt.  I have a paper subscription from my local paper, but have not renewed it.

Has anyone figured out how to get these calls to stop?? Is there a place to report to if you're on the Do Not Call List and still receive these calls?
I received 2 this evening for the first time, no one there, and I do NOT want them to continue!
It appears that signing up for a newspaper subscription is the common denominator--is this true?

This number called and left a message that they would call back later.  "Verification" came up on Caller ID.

I just got a call from 406-540-1229.  A very polite man was asking about what kind of phone books we have in our home and which one we prefer.  He was lucky that I was kind and patient, as I usually am not with phone calls like this.  It was a harmless phone call and not overly annoying.

I receive 4 to 5 calls a day from this number as well as another number. I answered once but it was background noise. It is irritating.

I just subscribed to local newspaper a week or so ago and now I am getting calls from this number which is out of Missoula, MT (I am in TX).  I have not answered the calls but I am thinking this must be a company that is affiliated with newspaper subscription services since most of the calls seem to be related to newspaper subscriptions.  I'm just wondering how many times they will call before they finally quit calling me.  They are not leaving messages!

I subscribed to the local newspaper last month, and I just got a call from 406-540-1229, they wanted to know if I was happy w/the service and paper..

For the last 2 weeks our business has been getting calls from 406-540-1229 and 866-336-2559.  Different women call and say they are calling from the 411 Verification Department.  They just need to ask some questions and verify some information- but they want your name and will record the conversation.  I've told every caller that I do not verify information by phone.  Yesterday I told her to give me a number where I can call her back and verify her identity.  She became defiant and asked if I was calling her a liar..."thats defammation"...I just hung up.  I must have had 10 calls yesterday.  So far this morning I've had 2.  Verizon phone told me they can't do anything unless I file a police report.

Well, I just ordered star tribune from groupon a few weeks ago and the voicemail mentioned star tribune so it's probably them dialing the wrong numbers or getting the wrong numbers from someone else. Still a little weird they'd call, though.

This is your gauge on how "the country is going down fast?" Do you really want the US President taking time to screen your freaking phone calls? Call Sarah Palin. She's got time not being governor or studying the constitution...

This country is going down fast, I signed up for the "DO NO'T CALL REGISTRY" a couple of years ago, you can see it works. Be careful for what you wish for our Goverment will do for you. I got a call from that number today(406-540-1229), so Mr. President what the hell are you going to do about these calls to people who signed up to that Goverment sponsored registry.  "GOD BLESS AMERICA" because our Goverment won't.

Received a phonecall around 5:30 PM from this number, claiming to be from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The caller wanted to offer us the E-edition of the paper for $4.95 per month. Funny thing is that as a Star Tribune subscriber, the paper already has an online function that allows for verification of hard-copy subscription information *for free* in order to view their E-edition articles *free* to subscribers. I'm pretty certain the call is a scam.

Got a call from this number last night asking if I had received my new newspaper subscription. Then they said that I could go ahead and make payment by giving them my credit card number !  Obviously a scam.

I received a call tonight and when calling back was asked to verify my number so they can put it on their do not call list.  We'll see if this happens.  We've just had two days of spam type calls to my husband's cellphone, and finally had the number changed.  What is going on?  How do they get our numbers?

Receive about 2-3 calls a day from this number.  Stating they are from the Star Tribune paper in Minneapolis asking if we received our paper.  Also asked if we've made payment and then asked for our credit card. Obviously refused to provide this information.

I've received about 5 calls from this number in the past few days.  They just say they will call back.  It doesn't even make sense.

Was your number removed or do you know? I posted a message re: this number. You may want to read it.Good luck

I got a call today from 406 540 1229. They said they were calling from the Union Leader newspaper to see if I got my paper. I questioned her and she said it is computer generated and apologized.This is why we can't call it back. Time will tell to see what happens.

I've been getting calls, about seven (and counting), from this number for about three to four days. They tell me that they'll call back, and they often do, sometimes under a different number. I'm not sure why they call, but if anyone can figure out how to stop it, please tell. It's awfully annoying to receive three calls during school hours.
