Calls my office several times a day, no one there when we answer

This is one of the worst phone pests of the region. Multiple calls daily. There seems to be no way to turn them off. )Washington Post-pests)

Same issue here. I've asked for 1-2 years to be removed from the calling list, each time I'm given a bogus script that I will hear 3 beeps and to please stay on the line so that I may be connected. Each time, I'm met with a dial tone. Today I threatened to call the police and to take legal action if I were not properly transferred, especially because they call and ask for the previous owner of the phone number and don't even know my name.  Suddenly, I was told that the manager (who supposedly overheard my conversation) was able to remove me promptly.  Who knows if there was even a manager.  This conversation described was my latest conversation.  It was the 4th interaction today with that number. The first interaction was a missed call from them. The 2nd interaction was when I called them back and reached a generic voice message.  The 3rd interaction resulted in my hanging up.  On the 4th interaction, I was able to reach the exact same individual I spoke to when I hung up, strange if were really the Washington Post.  You would think such a department would be more staffed!  This time, I would not take no for an answer and I demanded to be removed from the calling list.  We shall see...

This is most likely a work-at-home telemarketer on assignment to the Washington Post
whose sole job is to bomb-call everyone in Northern Virginia trying to solicit subscriptions.
These people have no authority to change the lists programmed on the robo-caller.  They get
paid for the use of their computer that dials out all day and if someone answers they try to sign them up
and get a bonus for each new subscriber.

As the delivery people don't bother to deliver a one-time-per-week paper at least one weekend out of four in
my experience, I would't subscribe to this even if I wanted the paper, which I do not have any need for.
Try calling the general customer service number to get off the lists--1-800-477-4679--and ask them if the scammer at 571-252-3996 works for them and lodge a complaint.

I wouldn't read their bleeding heart liberal rag if I got if for free.  Even if was getting it, all of the calls would make me stop.
