I was a subscriber to Beckett's Online Price Guide for many years (10+).  I decided when my subscription ended in early August I wasn't going to renew.  I accessed much less frequently the last year or two and just thought I'd try to go without it.

Ever since I let the subscription lapse, the hounds at Beckett have been after me.  I bet they call me 5 or 6 times a week.  Since the caller ID on my phone shows who it is, I never answer.

I have never experienced this kind of ongoing pestering/harassment in my life before.  It's been a good six weeks, so I'd guess they have called 30-35 times.

Anyone else experience something similar?

My guess is they outsource those calls to a telemarketer. I'd just answer the next call and ask them to remove you from their list. And if they continue, file a report with the BBB.

I believe the law states that if you tell them to stop calling you they must abide by your request. But they have about six weeks to remove you from their call lists. 

Or you can just block them on your phone. 

I've had my phone numbers registered with the National Do Not Call Registry since 2009. https://www.donotcall.gov/

Telemarketer calls are almost non-existent now. It's been years since I've last reported a violator.

I had the same experience except they started calling when I had over a year left in my Beckett subscription. I was getting calls weekly from the same guy. Forgot his name now but I actually contacted Beckett, told them to note on my account that they were not to contact me and if they did I would not renew. That shut them up and to renew I actually just went to the website. Very annoying but at least it worked. 

I blocked them.

Makes me glad I never signed up with them.
