Soliciting jobs as paperboys. This is not in accordance to the Do Not Call List's rules, which states that a newspaper may call you to solicit subscriptions and nothing less.

Have you received any calls since? They told me the same thing!

I just called the number and asked to be removed from their list (I was getting the same automated call every day.) The guy I talked to was polite enough about it.

This number belongs to Ottawa This Week, a community newspaper that's apparently going to be launched in Ottawa in the near future. They're looking for people to deliver their papers.
I reported these people to the National Do Not Call List complaints line, who confirmed that the call isn't exempt even though they're a newspaper because they're not soliciting subscriptions. Matt at Ottawa This Week seems to think they are exempt because they're a) a newspaper and b) they're not selling anything.
Matt assured me yesterday (call #2) and again today (call #3) that I would be on their list. I'm not holding my breath on this.
