              I get a call from Mercury News every day now. I would like my number to be removed from their solicitation list. Beware of the fundraisers going around, they promised it would be a one time payment, come to find out Mercury News setup a recurring subscription in my name that was a pain to cancel. And now Im getting consistent sales calls.

              I received a call to set up a subscription with ******** Times. I ordered the paper but never received the paper. I called and reported the lack of delivery and never received a call back. It has now been three months since I was billed and never received a newspaper.
