Harassing Phone Calls?

Inland Empire is the one!!! I just did some research of my old phone bills, and a search of that business name. It is listed in Riverside, CA with a # of 951-272-8084. The number that called me was 951-272-0000, so it's an obvious business line with multiple numbers.

Now, researching that 0000 number, I came up with these other complaints from whocalled.us:

We have received calls from this number several times but when we answer the phone their is no one that speaks to us. It is getting very irritable to us.

They have been calling us and not talking to us when we answer the phone.When we return the call it says we have reached a number that is no longer in service or temporary disconnected.

They ask for my husband but won't tell me who they are.

They call repeatedly, and when I finally answered and accused them of such, caller got angry at me and said he had never called. I asked to be placed on a no-call list, and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. I hung up on him.

recieved several calls from this number and someone would just hang up when i answered. When I called back there was a message saying number was not a working number. So I got another call and finally there was a voice on other end. They asked if this was CWLogistics (the name of my business) and when I answered yes they hung up! I called back and got the same message. Who the hell is this calling me, and what kind of scam are they running?

"Lance" has called a handful of times. He asks for my husband by name and refuses to speak to me when I ask him what it is in regards to. I have told him that whatever he is trying to sell, my husband isn't buying. This does not deter him. When I try to call the number back, it says it is disconnected or no longer in service. This is obviously some type of scam, but I am wondering if it is a cloned phone to which the original has been shut off and that's why we can't return the call.

this guy has called several times asking for our business by name. Tonight, he was quite ugly & said some perverted things to me & hung up. We called the # back & a lady answered & said this is her personal # & someone is using it & costing her alot of money. She asked us to report this incident to our phone company & call Patricia Ramos #925-823-1453. Please be kind if this happens to you & report this & try to help this lady in CA.

Caller asked for my company name then hangs up. Funny they called my new cell phone (1day old) and asked me this question. New cell carrier is Verizon. Anyone else have similiarities?

I just got a call from this number and I heard what sounded like a sigh and then a grumble of some sort from a man's voice (older man I would guess). Then someone just hung up.

We have received several calls from this number usually at night. I finally answered and they asked if this was **** our business name, and then asked how I was and that I sounded fine. He then asked for my husband ( the head man) is what he said. I told him he wasn't here and he said Thanks and hung up. I called the number back and it had been disconnected.

Try calling the number back, it has a phony machine that says this phone number has been disconnected or no longer in service.

It did not take me long to find this company. It is Inland Empire Ind Supplies. Thier direct number is 951-272-8084. Their toll free number is 800-219-7790. Feel free to call an harrass them should you feel the need! They call our home at all hours and when I answer, they are digrading and curse up a storm. I am in the process of filing a compliant with the phone company about them. 1-800-348-8727 is the number to file a complaint for harrassment. Dial #0#0 to go directly to an operator.
Lets work to get them shut down. Many complaints on the at bbb.org.

I've received a few calls from this number. Sometimes they just hang up. Today the male voice asked "Hi, do you still work on your equipment? You are a trucking company right?" I told him I was filing a complaint and he hung up. Guess the CA desert heat is too much for some weaker of the species.

Asked for my husband, did not want to talk to me nor say what they want. Did not identified himself and hanged up. I called *69 and called back to receive a message that the number is being disconected or not longer in service.????? The man just called from that number. What is going on?
R U D E!!!!!

 

That's not my list. That's from a similar phone site like the one you provided. All those complaints are from other people. I've just had very similar experiences. If I had taken notes on every call, there would be that many.

The problem with not answering the phone, is that I handle business calls. I can't just not answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. Although, I have placed an anonymous call blocker on my line now. They will get a message that tells them to call from an unblocked phone.

The thing is, this last time wasn't an anonymous call. The number came through with a city, but without a name. This is what I usually see from wireless (cell) calls.

From most of the phone complaints I have read on the internet, many of them have problems getting the police to do anything.
