Maybe if we talked to him in person he would do like his website claims and honor all the "Do Not Call" lists.
What a lying piece of crap this guy is.
Let's organize a visit.

A Marketing Resource Update.
AMR Claims on their website to be "Innovators in Do-Not-Call solutions."
It appears that these web pages show their "innovation" to be blatant law breaking, regarding "Do-Not-Call lists.
They are located in South St. Paul Minnesota. Here is a link to the So. St. Paul police department. If they get enough calls regarding AMR, perhaps something will change...Like law ENFORCEMENT!

Good luck folks.
More to follow when aquired.

This person calls every night at 9:00 PM or shortly there after. Before they called every couple of hours until I reported it and now they have started in again. They must be mentally sick.

This firm has been calling multiple times daily.  They are representing our local paper, The Arizona Republic, since we canceled our subscription.  We have told them not to call again and they continue to do so. In addition I left a message on their voicemail with my request to discontinue calls.   I now respond with a strong verbiage when I answer, and they continue to call daily.  Has anyone found a way to get these barracudas to cease contact?

You people are IDIOTS!!! Why do you whine and complain, hoping someone will do something. Why don't you pull you head out of your azz. Register your phone number with the US Government's www.donotcall.gov website. Then, when they call, you can go back to that website and file a quick 30 second complaint against these law violators like I did. You can also call and file a quick complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office at 1-800-657-3787

You can also do what I did, fill out a comlaint form from their website:

You bunch of idiots.

Patrice,
Actually the do not call list does not work in this case.  Since they are calling representing AZ Republic and you give your phone number to AZ Republic when you sign up for the newspaper they can call you.  All you can do is write them and ask them to stop calling. That is suppose to work, I guess we will see.

They just called me from the Pioneer Press from this number. They call me 15 times a day. I just told them to not call again, she assured me that i was now on the do not call list. We will see.......

Hi, I've had a similar problem. Here was the fix. I have Qwest for the phone. A landline in this case. I oay a few dollars a month for call rejection service (it's been worth it). That way numbers or even area codes can be blocked. A CELL PHONE is only a bit more complicated. Depending on the 'codes' the phone uses. But there are several call blocking tools for a cell. ALSO there is a tool (someplace) to redirect a call to a cell, when the number calling is recognized. Then the call is routed to whatever you choose. Say: A loud fax tone. THANKS

I, too, am sick to death of the calls from this "company".  I have answered and told them very distinctly and clearly Not to call me anymore.  They do not listen.  They must not understand English is all I can figure.

I just cancelled my paper and the calls started immediately!

what i am doing now ever time they call is calling the ceo of the company and leaving her a messasge here is her number 651-255-5856 see how she like it

I recently cancelled my subscription from the Arizona Republic and the day after that, I started receiving phone calls from this number.  The calls started out as one call per day and have since progressed to four times a day.  I called Arizona Republic and immediately asked for a supervisor.  At first, he wasn't telling me anything but after drilling him for a few more minutes, he finally admitted that they do have a "parent company" outside of Arizona in Virginia...I think he said they were called Gazette.  I searched the internet and found the Sun Gazette in Virginia.  Here is how the rest of our conversation went:  Him-"They do not call consumers outside of their state so they should not be the ones calling you."  Me-"So basically you're saying your parent company has the other companies, like A Marketing Resource, do the dirt calling then, right?"  Him-"Tell you what, I can go ahead and contact Gazette and have them remove you from their list and the calls should stop within 48 hours."  I will respond to you guys if it works.  In the meantime, I have filed a complaint with the FCC and register my cell phone number on the Do-Not-Call List.  THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR POSTING YOUR COMMENTS TO HELP OTHERS!

In correction the Arizona Republic's parent company... The Sun Gazette is INCORRECT.  The correct parent company name is GANNETT.

I am getting calls daily from this so called marketing company.  One day I pressed the cell phone key to answer but remained silent and noone said anything neither did I so, I just hung up.  I completely agree with you.  this is so frustrating and a waste of my time AARRRR.  

I would agree to pay a visit to their residence, and will hunt them down until they STOP calling and Harassing people.

Reporting a call from 651-288-2874.  I did not answer it & they left no message.

Keep calling every few hours. Getting really sick of it.
