707-307-4243

I don't answer the phone call, but I've been getting a call from this number about twice a week, usually around 10am - noon CST.

I received about 2 calls per day from this number for 2 weeks...listed on caller id as "Morning News".  I finally answered and they wanted me to try out the Dallas Morning News Sunday only edition.  I declined!

Indeed, I get "Morning News" showing up on my caller ID from 707-307-4243.  Several times they have called over recent months and when I answer, I hear *click* sounds but never a voice.

Unwanted, I get "Morning News" showing up on my caller ID from 707-307-4243 several times a week. This is not even one of our local area codes. I have no 'relationship' with this company beyond very rarely reading an online story. Have reported it.

I have been getting calls from this number for months and I finally googled it and saw the post. I then remembered that I answered one of the calls when they first started calling and it was some guy with The Dallas Morning News. I told him then I was not interested but they obviously don't care because they are still calling me.

I received a phone call from this number this morning.  I have no idea who it is.  I just hope that I don't start getting calls from this number on a daily basis.

I'm getting 3 to 4 calls a day from this number to my cell.  I am on the do not call list but still getting these calls.  I put them on block so they go straight to voice mail.

I too am getting calls from this #.  I gave them my phone # when I registered online.  I'm going to
see if they have something on there to tell them to stop bugging me.  I've only went to that site
2-3 times.    Telemarketers, Pffffffft

this automated call is calling my phone with no way to get it to stop

how many times can you be called from one number?!?!
they've called twice in the last 15 minutes..... a pretty typical day around here!!

saw this while looking up another number .... definitley a scam as i live in this area code and its for Northern California, not texas.

Reverse boycott. We, this company's own customers, can destroy their cost/benefit ratio by consuming their service.

When a company can repeatedly call with the intent of getting money their customers can repeatedly answer or call back with the intent of not giving them any. They need people to pay with as little talk as possible. They don't want to talk with people who know they are never going to pay. Be all talk and no pay. Answer when convenient. Call back. Give no information. Verify nothing. Ask as many questions as you can. Answer none.

Don't ignore/block/report them. It doesn't work. These folks want you to ignore them for as long as you can stand to or until you give them something valuable like money or information. Ignoring them is being their good customer. Sending a cease and desist is giving information. It lets them know you are still alive and remain their good customer. Their legal model is less vulnerable than their business model. Preparing to initiate unlikely individual legal battles is being their good customer.

Be their bad customer. Make them talk to you fruitlessly for as long as they can stand to or until they stop selecting you as their customer. These companies cannot spend seconds much less minutes on the phone with every person who will never send them a dime. But they don't know who that is. You do. That knowledge is power. Every second you can keep their staff on the phone will render their business less profitable giving them a reason to never call you again.

Calling will not reset your SOL. Making a partial payment will.

I like to ask general questions they should but usually won't answer. "May I have the name and address of your agent for service of process?" Calmly and slowly ask them to spell every word in the address. Read it back for verification. Control the pace. If they are rushing then politely ask them to slowly repeat. "Are you a corporation and if so in which state are you incorporated?" Repeat your questions when you don't get direct answers. When they won't answer a question ask, "Would you like to comply with the business and professions codes of your state?" That is usually the point when they hang up on me but if they say they want to comply then begin your questions again.

Repeat while you have the spare time. These folks have many victims and few operators. If everyone calls back but pays nothing the mass auto-dialer business model becomes unprofitable. Don't aide and comfort the enemy by ignoring them. Call! Have a nice long slow friendly chat! Make them hang up first.

Press 2 for Spanish.

For any business, customers who consume the most resources but don't pay (or otherwise add value) become the least desirable. Most businesses will stop (cease and desist) soliciting an undesirable customer. Those that don't stop remain knowingly vulnerable to the actions of their undesirable customers. Few companies can afford to let everyone take a piece of them whenever they want endlessly. For instance they must pay staff to answer everyone's telephone calls which can be placed at your convenience for the joy of it. Call and consume their operator time without paying or giving information. Be a bad customer. The worst customer. Inspire them to invoke their right to refuse you service by not soliciting you.

There are certainly enough victims with unlimited long distance to take down this company so ignoring/blocking seems downright Orwellian to me. Really? We're just going to passively submit and go with a block list or however we manage ignoring an endless stream of unwanted phone calls day after day? Hell no! Unite or remain conquered. Answer/return every call - become well practiced at keeping these folks on the phone - or count yourself not amongst the free.

Caller ID shows from MNS .  Caller said she was from Century Link.com and asked me if I wanted to upgrade.  Then she asked me how many lines I had. I told her if she was from Century Link she would know that. I told her I did not want to discuss this further and hung up.

Yep, I just got a call from 707-307-4243 allegedly from Century Link (CenturyTel???).... guy that I could not understand wanting to upgrade my account.  No clue what the hell Century Link or Century Tel is, being as I live in Kansas.
