NON-STOP Automated Calls
Complaint
Ronin
Country: United States
Received calls from this number (213-943-5214) on my cell phone AND home phone ALL last week and ALL this week.
The calls come in EVERYDAY at the exact same time - 10:27AM CST
so I'm guessing it's an automated system.
Anytime I answer, I hear a humming/buzzing sound, then it hangs up.
There's never anyone there and no response.
I don't owe anyone anything, so I know it's not a bill collector.
If it's a magazine subscription renewal, I do all of mine directly through the company's website or through email, as I don't respond to solicitation phone calls. I also won't renew a magazine subscription if the company uses practices like this.
A person on another website stated that it's a medical magazine. I'm not in the medical field, so not really sure why they would be calling me about magazine subscriptions related to that field.
Another person on another call reporting website also stated that these calls originate from a company called: Vertex Group and their website is: http://www.vertextelecom.com/contact_us.htm
Also, I've had the home number since 1991 and the cell number since 1996, so they are not new numbers.
I've gotten to the point now that I don't even answer calls from this number anymore and have even assigned it a special ring tone so I know to ignore it.
Except for today. The call came in at 12:42PM CST. Strange.
I actually tried to answer it; Same thing. Line noise and no response.
I work at night, so these early morning calls have to stop now.
Finally had enough of it.
Went and filed a legitimate formal complaint with the FCC and WILL follow up with it is as well. I gave the FCC as much info as I could find about this company, their calling practices, locations, numbers, website address, etc.
Hopefully something will be done about it, and soon.

Put your home phone on the Do Not Call list. Regardless, they shouldn't be calling your cell phone.
If you are getting repeated hang-up or dead air calls, file complaints thru your phone company, determine the origin, and send them a complaint. If that doesn't work, also file FTC complaints for Do Not Call violations, and FCC complaints for harassing cell phone and dead calls.
