When you call the number back there's a message that says
WAA WAA WAA leave a message, just like Charlie Brown's teacher
Keeps calling, no messages, calls within minutes of each call!
I think I'll answer it next time.
Very Very Annoying!!! Call over and over and over to my work. Wants names of executives. Wants to talk to "live" person in Marketing. Over and over they call. They will not leave a voicemail or message for anyone, want to speak to someone live. They are pushy, and keep calling back, trying to get a VP or something to answer a phone.
VERY annoying.
I don't care for that company at all.
Called the company in September, after which they stopped, but as of today have re-started the calls

This time they called TWICE IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES!!!!!!!!!
Are they imbeciles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
I think I can answer that.
Called CMP Media & they (of course) deny they are responsible for the calls.
I told them to check their marketing with respect to telemarketing policies & outsourcing to this offending company.
I told them to check this & other sites for the 1000's of complaints & asked if THAT'S good business.
I will certainly NEVER do any business with them until they STOP harrassing people in this manner (up to 10 calls per day

Whom they represent.
They call my office phone daily (FOUR times yesterday!!), never leave a message; caller id sometimes is 213-537-1383 & sometimes is 1-213-537-1383 leading me to believe it's an alias or relay number. If you attempt to dial it back, it either rings several times or there is a 30 second pause then turns "busy".
This is one of the LOWEST of lowlifes!
Have traced references to:
VAR Business Magazine
213-537-1383
parent company is CMP Media, crn.com
I don't know how accurate this info is, only that they are attempting some sort of extortion and/or
identity theft
Infinitely Repeated annoyance calls
Continued calls from this scumbag, in the continuing saga of telescammers attempting to obtain personal data
Calls 2 to 3 times a day. Leaves no message.
Same thing, no message!
Call from this number on multiple days to my work phone number. Left no message. There needs to be some sort of penalty for these unwanted calls.
for me it was for a free subscription to computer networking mag
This is some kind of subscription company.
They've called me 4 times in the last 24 hours. Never leave a message. I force them to my voicemail when I see their number, and the message was only 2 seconds long... and it was just dead air.
called work once, left no message, returned call, rings no answer.
Received call from this number this week on my work phone. Did not return call.
Company called work phone twice with no message. See RNB's comments about T Cast.
Whoever keeps calling me speaks almost no English and they call me 3 times a day at work. I've asked them to stop calling, but they obviously have a hard time understanding English.
FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS MESSAGE:yellow pages .com indicates that this number is a Land Line in LA and
the registered Service Provider is T Cast Communications. However, do to phone number portability the number may or may not be in LA.
called twice. Hung up after 4 rings. Voice mail set to pick up after 6 rings. Dial back just rings with no pick up.
I returned the call (they left no message) and it goes straight to a busy signal. On 411.com it is listed as a land line in LA.
same thing here no message
this company called twice with no message left
