Leave a CommentOk here goes. This is a LONG story and it has done nothing but cause me headache.I received a call from a guy claiming to be looking for sponsors for "no drinking and driving" ads for Super Bowl weekend. I figured, "ok my dad was killed by a drunk driver a couple years ago so this i a cause im definitely willing to support" Nearing the end of the sale i was approached with "Now what major credit card will you be paying with today?" I stopped him and reminded him that he said they would send me a bill along with a schedule that said exactly when my ads would be run. "Well sir if you pay upfront i'll set you up with 3 free prime time ads along with the 3 you just bought" I kindly replied with "No thanks, this is my first time i think ill take it slow". He persisted with trying to get me to pay upfront which i declined. the phone call concluded and i felt good that i was doing something to promote my new company and show that i have a care for anti dui programs due to my past. I did not hear anything or get anything in the mail from this company until about 5 weeks after Super Bowl weekend. I received a "late payment" statement. I immediately called the number on this form to find out what what was going on and to refute the bill. the first guy i talked to was a complete jerk calling me a liar and saying that i was just trying to get out of paying them. The argument became so heated that he hung up on me. I called back and told the receptionist to let me speak to her boss, she hung up on me. I called back and said let me talk to your boss and you better not hang up on me this time. I was placed on hold for about 5 minutes. Brandon Wiley, the VP of Sales at NTMS Ltd. answered the phone. I told him of my 2 previous calls and the situation at hand. I informed him that i had not received the schedule as promised by the sales guy and had been listening to the station and did not hear my ads at any time during the period i was told they were going to air, He said " Well sir im sorry that you didnt get your schedule, we sent out 2 of them. I can guarantee that the ads were run so what can we do to settle this?" I told him that i wanted a copy of my ad and proof from the FCC that they were played. He said "ok sir i will send out an affidavit from the FCC that states EXACTLY when your ads were played and i will send you a disc with a copy of your ad on it if we can get half of what you owe us right now." hmm, okay this sounds like a good plan ill make a show of faith and maybe ill get what i wantI paid the man and he told me that these items would be sent out in the next day or 2.A couple weeks later i get a call from a John i think his name was saying that my account is past due and they want their money. I calmly explained to him what his "boss" and i discussed and that when they come through they will get their money. the next day i get the same call from a matt, same conversation same result. And AGAIN the next day i get a call from jim or joe or something. i said look you guys have called me for the past 3 days and i have told you the exact same thing each time, are you even looking at my account right now? "well uh no sir i dont have it in front of me right now" I said "Well, when you decide to go to work today pull up my account and look at the notes your boss put on there. Don't call anymore until you come through on your end of the bargain" About 2 hours later i get a call from shaun, this time i blew up. I yelled my explanation to him and told him they were not going to see another dime from me until they made good on their promises. About 2 weeks later i get an email from Brandon Wiley. This time he has attached an mp3 file of my "ad". This ad was a general safety message about car seat safety. I immediately called Mr. Wiley. his response to my complaint was "I'm sorry sir but we dont make the ads we just sell them, i see here that this is the ad you bought. I'm sorry if the salesperson misheard you but ill make you a deal. After you pay us ill run 2 free drunk driving ads for you" no thanks i just cant wait to be rid of you crooks was my only thought. i told him no and that after i get the affidavit they will get their money.A weeks or so later i get an email from Mr. Wiley again asking why i have not paid them yet. I responded with i have yet to receive the affidavit as you promised but as soon as I do and i verify its validity a check will be in the mail.I got a phone call from Mr. Wiley on May 6th asking if i had gotten the affidavit they send out. I had not gotten anything in the mail. He asked for my email address so he could send it out because apparently he had lost it. Towards the end of the day i got an email from him containing an invoice from the radio station to a company called "West End Media Group inc." I called the radio station to verify this information and request a copy of my ad and got nowhere. apparently the same mexican woman with a horrible accent was performing every role possible in the building as she said she could no forward me to anyone that she was that person. 20 minutes later i get a call from someone at NTMS saying i owe then money, i shooed him away with i'm already talking to your boss. I called the radio station again to get some contact information for this West End Media Group. The lady at eh radio station forwared me an email with an address and phone number for them in it and nothing else.i did some digging into this information and apparently West End Media Group is based out of a Storage unit at Advantage Self Storage in Lewisville, TX. Their phone number goes to a voicemail system for an Aaron Carlock, Sales Manager for Hemisphere GPS. And according to Google they share the storage unit with World Innova Corp. I continued to dig around and found a Facebook page relating to NTMS Ltd. This page is scattered with "cash money in da pocket!" "Great job! Great atmosphere! Honestly one of the easiest ways to make great money as a student or anyone looking for quick and sufficient money! NTMS is a great learning experience and they're progressing everyday! Not a joke this place is easy money in the pocket!!" "Youngggg moneyyyyyy" kind of comments that would only come from an ignorant child. "Call me for an interview. Guys 20-26 making 40-60k a year"I called the radio station 2.5 hours after our last conversation to try to get more information and got the message "former, our smooth jazz is no longer available. we now operate strictly online" the frequency has been taken over by a "christian" radio station.I called the Polic Station in Mount Prospect, IL to see if they had any information on these guys. Apparently they have gotten complaints but there is no evidence for an investigation. The local police station believes this company to be a "debt collection agency".I called NTMS from a different phone to try to get information from them about West End Media Group and was told that they work for said company and that the receptionist is not allowed to give out contact information.I will continue digging into this until i have resolved it. i hope other find this useful and DON'T GET TAKEN LIKE I DID!!I am compiling all of this information along with web printouts and will be submitting to the FCC, FTC, BBB, FBI the Illinois Attorney Generals office, Mount Prospect PD, the fraud department at my bank and my attorney.National Telerep Marketing Systems (NTMS Ltd.)201 w.

CALLED AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING JUST LEFT A NOISY MESSAGE WITH NO VOICES, VERY INCONSIDERATE!!!
Continual calls, very annoying. Please stop them.
This person keeps prank calling the phone
Receive at least three calls a week from these people, who are the most unprofessional, annoying telemarketers I have ever heard. They start off like a casual friend calling, like "Hey, they have the boss answering the phone now??" Won't state purpose of call, huge time waster.
I am on the no call list. These people call and hang up.
Keeps calling everyday many times a day.
like the others he appeared as if he knew "us"', the owner...and he was shady with his answers to my questions. He said he would call back next week. He wouldn't identify who he was calling for, etc...I can't stand people like that. He said his name was John Wilson and acted as if I should know who that was...we've never had an employee with that name...so i figured at first he had the wrong number...he sounded like he had a southern accent too...sort of...anyway...I Hate solicitors! :) tell him to fall off a bridge. ;)
I have been getting calles from this number 3 to 4 times daily for two days and it is getting annoying. I will not answer the phone. They are probally trying to sell something
Keeps calling our business asking for Boss. Will not say what he wants, will call back. Told if he doesn't talk to us he will never talk to boss. Says will call back.
A guy named Tony called "Does (blank) still own the company?" I said Yes. "Is the Big Boy there?" I said no, can I help you. "No, I'll call back later." ..... I called 224-345-2360 and message says mailbox is full - but I typed "Jones" and got the directory ....by pressing 1 you'll get to scroll thru all the names in the mailbox -- Andy L., Mimo, Joe D., Bob D., Dave D., System Administrator, Brandon W., Matt S., Chuck R., Mike McK., Dave S., ..... I didn't leave a message w/any of them
This person called and asked for the owner of my (my Business).And when I Identified my self he commented "they are makeing you work as well." Then he hung up when I asked who he was.
very strange call wanting to know who makes business decisions for business. would not say where he was calling from. gave a bogus name Barry!
Infuriating and false claims threatened to come to my home to find me.
Been receiving calls every day from these two numbers. Very anoying
Ask for the Owner. I called the number back and the message said the mailbox was full. They call at least 4 times a week
Called 2x today and sick of calling. Wont tell who he is or what he wants. Says hes an old friend of my boss!
224/345-2360 - called asked for the wrong person. They want the owner and don't know her name. They beleive she is a he. Good luck
Asked for owner & would not give me any information.
Left a mesage on my machine that said: "Hello, Hello!" Very low volume with a lot of background noise.
Asked for to talk the owner of the company about a "program they were trying to run" Would not leave any other info when asked about the reason for the call.
My phone disconnected before they could ask for what they wanted. Seemed chatty, wanted to talk to owner, said it was my husband who is out... This number has called several times. VERY ANNOYING. Same thing, call it back and it says this mailbox is full.
called & hung up - several times in a row, won't leave message.
Hello to everyone frustrated by these obnoxious phone calls. Below is the company information related to them:National Telerep201 W Prospect AveMount Prospect, IL 60056P: 847-394-1231 or 800-643-5084If they harass you I strongly recommend contacting the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) or your state's attorney generals office. Also file a complaint against the company they are calling on behalf of. In my case this was 92.1 KFMA in Tucson, a radio station belonging to Lotus Communication Corp. I finally got a hold of the GM of KFMA and they have employed this company willing.
I have repeatedly gotten calls from this 224-345-2360 number calling on behalf of 92.1 KFMA in Tucson, AZ which is owned by Lotus Communications in Los Angeles, CA. They are attempting to sell me on sponsoring a public service announcement (PSA). Radio stations are required by FCC law to provide PSA's at no charge. I have tried getting in touch with the General Manager of KFMA repeatedly and I never receive a call back to my complaint. The receptionist won't even so much as tell me the GM's name. I have tried contacting Howard Kalmenson (President & CEO) of Lotus. We will see if he ever calls. I recommend anyone who receives these calls to do the following:1. File a complaint with the Federal Communications Commissions. Lotus is violating FCC rules by trying to get companies to pay for the PSA.2. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.3. File a complaint with your state's Attorney Generals Office.4. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.Lotus has no problem associating with obnoxious telemarketers, so I say let them deal with the consequences and get them investigated by the government for their actions. Maybe once they see how annoying it is they will stop.
Said his name is Nick did not leave a message. 2-26-09
THIS CALLER CALLS FROM 2 NUMBERS
Called me today. Sounds like they are busy. They left no message on voicemail.
I just received a phone call from this number here at our company. When I answered, the guy asked me how I was and if I was staying out of trouble, keeping busy, etc. He seemed like he knew who I was. I tried to be polite and just answer him with yes or no. Then he asked me if I was the owner's wife. I said "Uh, No.." He kind of laughed and asked if I was the good looking one in the office and then asked again how I was and if I was staying out of trouble, etc. Finally, he asked for the owner and I said he was at our corporate office, which is true. He asked for the number and I said I was new and did not know the number. He said "oh" and paused for a minute. Then he asked AGAIN how I was and if I was staying out of trouble and staying busy. I was extremely creeped out by then. He asked me again if I had the phone number and I said no, then he hung up.Very very uncomfortable. I googled the phone number to see what business it was because he never said his name or company or what he wanted. I was going to find out the information to call back and complain to a manager about the way he talked to me. When I googled the phone number, I noticed so many comments and complaints about the same thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
called and hung up
My fiancee called anumber that he saw advertised on television for car sale to anyon regardless of credit history. This persom Joh called me back several times.he obtained my ssn ,my DOB, and my employer info .When I tried to return call to the number that he had called from,I got a recording saying this is a non working number.Never heard of a car dealership that di not have a working number.
Got a call from 224-345-2360. no one would talk. then they hung up. after doing a search on this site, I found out that it is linked to
ASKED FOR STEVE, I SAID HE WASN'T IN & IF I COULD TAKE A MESSAGE, HE SAID NO IT'S MIKE I'LL CALL LATER.....
Rude and sick person called us yesterday, ask for owner. He have some anger management problem, he should see a doctor. He was nasty when spoke with me, secretary of our bussiness even with the owner. We never spoke with such a sick person.
I don't know who is calling but I want it to stop.
called asking for owner, who wasn't available, and then asked for a cellphone number instead. claimed his call was urgent and expected. very strange and somewhat forceful
said he was Tony McGrady, and called several times and won't give a reason for call, said he was calling from my town in New York, but he was calling from Ill.
same thing. asks for the "owner". just hang up.
THE MAN WHO CALLED DOESN'T ANSWER AT ALL YOU CAN HEAR BACKGROUND NOISE. IT IS VERY IRRITATING AND THEN HE HANGS UP ON YOU. WHEN YOU TRY TO CALL THE NUMBER BACK IT SAYS THIS # IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
This 224-345-2360 has called the past two days, and a few times in a row at that. The guy ("Max Bankston") is real creepy and tries to chit-chat (AGAIN, saying something about me being the "hardest working woman in town"), then asks for the "owner". When I tell him that the owner is not available, he either gets an even worse attitude or just hangs up. I have reported every call to the National Do Not Call Registry, since we're registered. Not like that'll do any good though...
The guy who called was sort of flighty sounding when I answered ... seemingly trying to sound familiar. When he asked if he could speak to the owner I told him that he was not here, which he wasn't. He immediately hung up the phone while mumbling.
will not stop calling all times of the day. Very nasty on the phone. Says we owe money we don't. Changes name every time he talks to you. Gives you
Guy called and said I was the hardest working woman today, I said yes and I don't have time for idle chatter, what could I help him with. He stated something about an organization and could he talk to the owner. I asked what kind of business this was pertaining to and he hung up. I don't have caller ID, so I *69 and got the number. I too called back and received a fax machine.
Guy called and said some stupid thing about being the hardest working woman in Colorado, knew right away a sales call of some sort. He asked for the owner and I said this was his wife and what can I do for you. He said he was with some radio station thing and I preceeded to cut him off ASAP saying that we are not interested. Could someone in the background saying our company name is a big pain. I hung up. This group calls at least once a month. When I called back it went to a fax machine. How annoying.
we keep getting a call from this number also. We do not pick up and they do not leave a message. We are also on the do not call list
224-345-2360: Same deal here with the radio spot. Trying to save children by telling drivers to slow down and we can pay a small fee of $404 (guess it went up in the last few weeks!!) Told him we werent interested and of course he keeps yabbering on.... not sure I can report him to the FCC as it was a business phone. (we are on the do not call list, but that doesnt seem to matter here) So I cut him off saying have a nice day and good bye.... He wanted to give me a quick suggestion... after reading these comments here I'm glad I hung up instead of listen. UGH.
This number calls both of my businesses constantly and hangs up. I called back and it sounded like a fax line. They have never spoke to me so I really don't understand their goal in calling and hanging up on a constant basis.
Received this call twice. Lots of talking in the background then hangs up. I too thought it may be a cutomer, but I agree, must be some ilicit all center.
Same thing here. Calls and then hangs up if someone answers. I can hear lots of conversations in the back ground. Im sure it's a call center. It gets pretty annoying when you get so many of these a day.
I let the call go to the answering machine because I didn't recognize the phone number. They didn't leave a message, but I could hear a lot of other people talking in the background.
For the past two weeks we have had this number come up on our caller ID about 15 times. This number was not familiar to anyone in the household and the caller never leaves a message. When I try calling back it rings twice and then sounds like a fax line. There are times this call comes up several times a day. When I looked up info on this phone number it stated it was a cell phone through New Cingular Wireless in Arlington Hts, IL. We are getting quite annoyed with these calls.
It just dawned on me, that these people arent' right. I had a call a few months back from them asking me to run a radio spot(something about the community). As I tell everyone email the info, and I'll get back with you. No info was sent. I got a call yesterday from a lady stating that she was calling to collect $347 for a radio ad that ran 40days ago. I told her to fax me a copy of the contract, she said she would, of course she didn't. I get a call from some jerk asking for me by name from the same #. I put him on hold and hung up. He called back and said I will suffer the consequences. I called my state Attorney General's office and filed a complaint....I suggest everyone do the same.
A man called and asked for the owner. I told him that we do not accept telephone marketers phone calls, and said "thank you" and hung up. He called back and said, "I am not a telemarketer lady, said he had wanted to do business with me, that I was ignorant and then said, c__t, f u. and hung up. I have saved the recording. I think we should all get together and report this pervert to the law.
This is Cal Pacific products. They call repeatedly, curse and are rude. They also lie about where they are calling from to get my husbands cell phone. I've complained to Cal Pacific and they say that the telemarkers don't work for them. This has been going on for years. If they really cared, they would have found a new company. Now we don't answer numbers from out of state or that come up unavailable.
Just got a call from this guy "Shawn Price" too asking for the owner of the company and when I said he wasn't home, he immediately hung up so I thought that was strange, which is why I was trying to look him up online to see if he was a customer that needed to be called back, but of course he is not.
I got the call, he said is this colonial flooring, I said Yes this is Colonial Flooring. He said what the f*** is your problem, then hung upCalled back, it's an auto fax line,
