Scam

10 4...thanks

continually  working on the  list !!!  (  will add )  

thanks

Our company is contracted to call on behalf local newspapers, business publications and membership organizations across the country for various reasons. We are not in the spam/scam category above. Feel free to check out our website at http://www.4rnewspaper.com/ There are links to send us feedback as well as add your number to our do not call list.

"contracted to call"

In my world that's all it takes to make you a spammer.  I am already on the federal DoNotCall List.  I expect you to follow that list.  I will not give you my number.

If we are already on the federal Do Not Call list, why should we have to go to your website to be on your DNC list????  By law you are obligated to abide by the federal DNC list (unless you are just like all the other sleazy telemarketers that do not care about it)!

"Contracted" with newspapers and who else?  This means you are a call center, i.e. a renamed telemarketing firm.  These days, of course, "Call Center" is code for a lot of cell phones.  I must agree with all the other replies.  I have absolutely no business with you and I am on the "Do Not Call" list.  Why are you ignoring the list?

440 973-6639 is another # from someone trying to do fraud by check thru text messaging.

I'm trying to check on a number that is supposed to be from the United Kingdom. It's 442071750691

Add this Number 404-975-4928

Does anyone else find it odd that this company is searching itself on 800 notes? So you have to go to their web site to get on a DNC list, you're already suppose to be on? The fact that they've added a comment here, and have been here, doesn't look good.

Well,

I sacrificed a recently captured telemarketer to the Oracle at Startpage.com and the oracle revealed the following.

Other than being a possible DNC scofflaw, 4r (or is that 4F?) seems like a singularly unimpressive operation. It is apparently owned by someone named Dan Campbell. It is located at is located at 6902 Pearl Rd Cleveland OH, 44130. The phone number is (440)885-2501.

CCA Promotions (http://ccapromotions.com/) "Essential Telemarketing Services for the print media industry" shares the exact same address, so I would assume it is another identity for the same company. You may find the website interesting.

I did find the resume of a former 4r "sales partner" who had moved on from invading our homes to shout things like, "Read all about it, Cat kills rat while dog looks on, get your hot news right here". It seems she found being a shift manager at Taco Bell more rewarding, as would I. Good for her!

I also noted that complaints about them (and posts by them) show up elsewhere on this site, and on other similar websites.

Are they DNC compliant? I don't know. They swear they dot i's and cross t's as appropriate.

But the bottom line is that unless they switch to "opt-in only" calling lists, they are in a fundamentally intrusive and shabby line of work, and they are promoting a dying industry.

And to digress slightly, newspapers aren't failing simply because of technology. They are in part failing for the same reason network news is struggling. Many papers aren't doing their jobs very well, and many people no longer view them as honest brokers of information.

Frankly, the paper where I live is frequently no better written than text messages between under-achieving middle school students. They absolutely butcher the English language. A recent favorite was, "The crook snuck[sic] in through an unlocked door." Print journalism is moribund with cause, and a bunch of yammering telemarketers will not save a gangrenous cage liner from its just fate.

please add 440.519.671

You can add 440-606-0099 to that S**T list!!!
