This number (which we have blocked, but call display still records it as "Manitoba") calls *every* 45 minutes for a few hours, then stops, then starts again the next day. I can't stand it.

I get it repeatedly. 3-4 times a day. They leave no message. This has been going on for a few weeks. They say they are from a local newspaper ( the area code is not even in my province!) and are calling because my bill isn't paid.  I have called the newspaper, who say that my account is up - to - date.

call weekly about newspaper subscriptions......... and credit card payments


DO NOT GIVE ANY CREDIT CARD INFO...........IT'S ALL A SCAM

I've had this call for the last week and ignored it until last night when curiousity got the better of me. An East Indian Gentleman claiming to be be from the Calgary Herald called to say they had been unable to process my last 2 payments, suspicion aroused straight away not only by the Manitoba number but as I only subscribed to the Herald the week before - calls started about 2 days later. He told me 4 numbers which he said were the last for digits of my credit card and could I confirm they were correct - the numbers were meaningless, and I assume a rouse to make me confirm and divulge the full 16 digits. When I confirmed to him the fake numbers were correct he got a little flustered, and stated that he had just processed my payment again and the card was declined, the speed at which this aleged transaction took place was also incredible. I thanked him for the information and said I'd call the bank. If the caller had been from the Herald I assume my delvery would have been stopped for non payment, but the caller was too stupid to add this little detail. Calls to the bank confirmed this is a fraud scam and to the Herald that my one and only payment was good. I am waiting too see if the bozo calls back tonight.

My concern is that this started almost immediately after the subcription started with the Calgary Herald , so I can't help thinking something may have been compromised there

I have had this call twice in two days.  I try to call back, but the number is not in service.
