2139765000

Get calls from this number.  They say they want info for a free gas/oil magazine.  Tired of telling them no so I just hang up.

Calls my cell phone - number displays as 213-976-5000. I did not recognize so I didn't answer. Thanks to Sugarbear I know I will NEVER answer it now!

This number called me on 5/27/2009 at 1030a central.  It sounded like a bad connection, so I assumed a legitimate call at first.  But as I was asking, "Hello, are you there," it sounded as though a recording was being played.  I reverse-looked the number at whitepages.com and got nothing at all.  I simply googled the number and got this page.  Sugarbear, where in the WORLD did you come up with all that information.  

I have had calls like this before, and the last time I took my battery out immediately after the call and didn't replace it for some time.  NEver got the call again.  It's stupid, and probably a mere coincidence, but I tried it again.  I hope this f*cker tries calling me again, I'll FIND a way to take care of it.  I HATE people who prey on others like this.  IMHO it is one of the worst crimes against society as a whole, not just the individuals being duped.

I too I received 3 calls from this number.  Two in a roll one day then a couple of days later another.  I tried calling it back back my phone wouldn't let the call go thru.

She says they want to give us Water World magazine a free subscription and wants company informatin verified. Not interested.

They called today and asked for my boss.  i sent her to his voicemail and she hung up and called right back.  she tried to give me this spill about giving my boss a free magazine subscription.  i immediately cut her off and told her that my boss made those kinds of decisions for himself. she kept on about the magazine, and again i cut her off.  told her i didn't know when my boss would be back.  when she calls again today, i'll send her to his voicemail again.  how annoying!

they also called my numer twice in recently week, no messsage.
who is that??

This number is from a subscription management company. For example, I was called to verify my free ComputerWorld magazine.

had a call in nc.  appreciate this info.  When I called this number back, the operator said a call could not be made to this number.  Another scam...

Here we are in late August 2009, and this jerk still is playing his games.  Is there no way to stop him...and her, too (assuming 'sugarbear' is real) [who the hell knows these days]!  All I know is I'm tired of calls like this.

Be careful, 976-xxxx numbers are premium-rate numbers, just like 1-900 numbers.  If you call back, you might receive a substantial phone bill in the future.

This whole thing appears to be a scam: call people then hope they'll call back the number on the caller ID, thus tricking them into paying 99 cents a minute or whatever.

also was called by skyline publishing - melissa

309-647-9286

I had replied "no thank you" as I do not wish to buy ad space on their maps to newcomers.

And asked to be removed from their call list.


Of course, a different person called me today.
When I asked for their web site (www.skylinepub.com ?) they said it was not ready.
When I asked for their CIO - they asked why, and I said, based on the two phone calls, that I am required by law to record all calls, log, and obtain addresses to submit a subpoena. To initiate sueing their ass.

Oddly enough, they were not even bothered by my request for information.

Heck, I would have been upset.

They called me twice

I received the call 3 or 4 times a day.  They wanted to send me a free subscription to a water engineering magazine.  They wouldn't take no for an answer.  They other day they called again and asked for me.  I said "he is no longer here."  They haven't called back since.

This number has called my cell every afternoon for the past week. Tried calling back once but got the same result as everyone else... can't connect.

I have been getting calls from this number off and on for the past year.  The last time i picked up, the guy was yelling at me about some mags i ordered and how he needed to confirm my visa that started with a 4..  i said to him "why don't you tell me the number and i will confirm if it's my number or not."  and he started saying how i was going to have to pay for lawyers and etc if i didn't give my credit card number.  i started laughing and i said "i know this is a scam, i don't have a credit card."

This number is for a company that makes calls on behalf of magazine publishers.  They call me one a year to see if I wish to continue receiving a particular free subscription to a trade magazine.

After missing two calls from 213-976-5000 over the past two days, they called again today 8/12/09. The gentleman on the other side was calling to confirm renewal of a free trade magazine subscription (a network cabling magazine) - I've provided my cell phone # to them so the call was legit.

What wasn't legit was the caller ID, since calling this # results in what sounded like a phone company recording for invalid numbers. The caller was difficult to understand with a heavy Indian accent, and the call sounded as a bad VoIP connection. Nontheless, the call itself was legit...

selling more damn magazines....wish they would get a life....quit calling at my work....

Called I went through my receptionist-ic shpeal could hear noise (i.e. people talking in the backround) finished my thing then they promptly hung up
