213-537-1439

Calls office numerous times a day.  Usually right in the middle of something.

Get calls a few times daily - never leaves a message - finally called them back.  Their message says they are  Spark Marketing - a telesurvey company which conducts surveys for  industry specific magazines.  Would like to get them to stop

Trying to get me to subscribe to Cabling Installation & Maintenance Magazine

Hmmm ... interesting now that I read through all the comments.  I have taken Cabling Installation & Maintenance Mag in the past.  Maybe they want me to renew.  (Not going to happen.)  I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer.  Wasn't my kids, parents or anyone I work with, so I don't answer.  Also, didn't recognize the area code.

DO NOT CALL OUR BUSSINESS AGAIN...!  TAKE US OFF OF YOUR CALLING LIST.

This number just called our business and talked about a free magazine subscription... When I said no thanks the guy said alright this is a prank phone call anyway... Weird!

Third time they called and hung up.  Time to try out the "blacklist" feature of my "almost free" PBX in a Flash phone system from www.nerdvittles.com . Now they will only hear a message that the number you have dialed is not in service, please check the number.  We can fight back with technology!

I answered the first time they called - they claimed to be from a free trade publication that I receive (Quality Magazine). They wanted me to do a survey - I could barely understand the guy so I told him no and hung up. Now I have at least one call a day from this number or 213-537-1438, I assume they are related, I don't answer either one.

Calls each day.  Leaves no message.  Who is this person/group?

They just won't give up. First call at 08:45, second at 10:15, third at 12:45, fourth at 18:20. Similar scenario for the past month, No one ever there.

I have received several calls from this company over the past few MONTHS!  I usually do not answer the calls because I do not know the number.  I decided to answer last month when they called.  They are calling to renew a subscription to a free trade magazine I signed up for to get a promotion.  I told the rep I was not in the business anymore and to take me off the list, he seemed shocked I was not in the business!  lol  He just couldn't believe that!  I expected more calls over the next few days as it can take a while to get off of the list.  The next time they called I told the rep I asked to be removed from the list last time they called and they hung up on me!  OMG!  The calls did stop, until yesterday!  WTH?!?!   I don't want the mag!  STOP CALLING ME!  I asked to be removed from the list!  The next step is reporting them to the FTC!

That number belongs to Spark Marketing.   1737 West 2nd Street in Corsicana TX 75110.   Their number is (903)872-3838.  All of this is a matter of public record.

Some of their company reps are listed as;
Susan Johnson and Paul Smith

I filed 4 complaints with the FCC to no avail.  I have called the company to complain...to no avail.   I am on the Do Not Call list... what good does it do?!??!!

Spark Marketing's website lists 2 contacts...so it is info readily available to the public.   The 213 number is registered as a Winstar Communications landline out of Los Angeles.

Perhaps they should get a taste of their own medicine???

Just received a call from 213-537-1439.  Did not answer.  Guess, I am the latest contact.  Has anyone ever talked to anyone at this number?

Same modus operandi.  I have been getting repeated calls at work from this number, as well as from 4-5 other numbers from different area codes that may be part of the same network.  I'm guessing their link to me is that I did sign up for some free trade publications via e-mail a few years ago.  Several of these publications are useful to me in my work.  Unfortunately, once you're "on the list", the publishers want to try to shove 10 more magazines down your throat via these telemarketing services, who cling like a leech once they have you.  I keep a list of these phantom phone numbers by my phone and don't answer any calls from these numbers.  Thank God for caller ID!  And thanks to Secret and Tweeker for unearthing the mysterious source of these calls.

I get calls at work all the time from that #.  The people that call are ALWAYS RUDE.  They call about 15 times in a row literally abck to back asking for different people.  They constanly try to get me to give out personal business information.  The caller is usually female and has an accent, but no matter what they're always RUDE and I don't know why!!

Let this number roll into voicemail, if they have the guts to leave a message. This is a phone bank that is off-shore. I am led to believe that this phone bank is located in the Philippines, because they talk just like my relatives back home.

When I made the mistake of answering the first phone call I got from them and asked for a telephone number to call back, I was notified by the caller that this number is a VOIP line.  They are also calling for Advanstar, which publishes trade magazine for the medical R and D industry.

For all you Filipino folk out there who also make the mistake of answering, this is a good time to bust out the Tagalog and your family's dialects and politely ask in the mother tongues to stop calling... and then hang up. Going forward, just do not answer calls from this number.

Take a minute and file a complaint with the Do Not Call list if your phone number is registered. The web site is; https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

I just called that number back and got a recorded message saying I reached "Spark Marketing" and to leave a message......
