Okay, I just got a call from this number, which I had blocked on my phone.  She had an alternate number for me because it is a company that I actually have done business with in the past.  

When she called on the alternate phone number, I told her that her number was showing up in 800notes, which is a BAD thing.  She told me that this company name is called Internet Brands and they represent over 400 companies.  Evidently this is why there is such an array of posts.

This number shows up for many reasons on caller id.  You may have given your number to one of their 400 companies or it may be a misdial or it may be some other reason.  I do not need her product anymore and asked that she not call again.

They left a voicemail "Fred Ford" from nursingjobs.org, claiming I contacted them regarding job postings.  He was stuttering and didn't sound legitimate at all.

If you leave your info on the SmartCar website, they will call you within minutes from this number. Sheesh -- I just wanted an email.

They called right after a 315 ny area code called but no answer weird

Cars Direct and Internet brands own a bunch of sites.

If you or someone else makes an inquiry on these sites, theres a section that asks for CallBack info. Someone either put your phone number in there on purpose or by accident.

That is the only way you can get a call from this number.

started receiving calls on a Friday night after 8 pm.  did not recognize number, so don't answer, calls have continued through the weekend repeated times.  leave no message or anything.  Looked number up on internet. goes back to a Internet Brand  Company????

This is SMART USA. call is ligit. They send me a refund check to the wrong address. I corrected it and will get a new check soon

they said they were looking for someone named george,
but then apologized.  I hope they don't keep calling.

Yes, this is a call from carsdirect.com I just call to find a good price on the web on a new vehicle and a few hours later i got the call from them. They just checking to see if the number is a good one. But they are fine.

Got repeated calls from 310-280-4000.  They left messages saying carsdirect.com and that I had requested a quote.  After ignoring several messages, I called them back from a landline at work and told them they were calling my cellphone in error.  They asked for that number and said they would remove it from their system.  After that I have continued to get calls.

Cell phone call. I answered it and it went into the weird tones like a wrong number, (example: da, da duhhhhh increasing in pitch and tone). I'll forward to the FCC since my number is on the "No Solicitations List".

I got call from this nos and 310-578-4818 and Ijust press talk and off on them.  Since last few months these and other no number provided out of area calls have become a total nuisance. No messages left and no- one talks if we do pick up. so now we never pick up phone calls from unknown callers even at the cost of missing some important job related calls.

Got a call today claiming I had requested a price quote on a land Rover.  This is BS as I hate cars and would never ask for such a thing. They called my cell phone, too, so the number isn't listed.  I suspect they use a war dialer and are just phone spammers, who are even more evil than email spammers.

CARSDIRECT.COM DOES NOT HAVE A LIST. WHEN PEOPLE GO ON TO THE WEBSITE AND INPUT THEIR NUMBER THEY GIVE THEM A CALL. AGAIN SOMETIMES PEOPLE GIVE WRONG NUMBERS. JUST REQUEST TO BE TAKEN OFF. THEY ARE NOT TELEMARKETERS. THEY WILL DELETE THE REQUEST THAT HAS YOUR NUMBER.

THE 408 NUMBER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CARSDIRECT.COM. THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHBAY.

THAT NUMBER IS CARSDIRECT.COM - WHEN YOU REQUEST INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO A VEHICLE THEY GIVE YOU A CALL, IF YOU PUT IN YOUR NUMBER. SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE GIVE WRONG NUMBERS. PLEASE JUST LET THEM KNOW. I DID AND THEY TOOK ME OFF THEIR CALLING LIST.

WOW! Thanks everyone! I was freaking out, I received calls from these people at 8:00 this morning! Then received calls from various dealers saying I was interested in a Honda...I was trying to get a quote from Progressive a few days ago, so this is a bit comforting!

310-280-4000 calls multiple times per day-NO caller ID-Leaves NO message
I called them back & they said they were justified because a Nate Morrison requested information from my phone. This is IMPOSSIBLE because I am the only one that uses my phone-and I DO NOT know any Nates ANY Morrisions OR any Nate Morrison.I think they are lying about it but they did say they would take my number off their list. I told them if they did not then I would start calling them and hanging up & wasting their time and would ask all of the people who are getting the same irritating calls to do the same! Good luck everyone-Better call them and get your number off their list. (under my breath "the jerks")

Got the same call a Progressive Insurance claims adjuster gave my number to CARS.Com, supposedly to help me find a car after mine was totaled. First came the 1-310-280-4000 call, then the restricted call. The lesson learned is: don't give your cell or phone number to these internet car sales sites, they "spam" us with phone calls instead of emails... it's disgusting. In the end, I went out to a car lot and bought my car the old fashioned way.

Researched these people.  Caller indicated I had inquired via the internet about a new Acura and someone from Gold Coast Acura would be contacting me by the end of the day.  Called their customer service.  They assured me they called only after legitimate requests were made for information.  They provided my old address and a non-existant e-mial address unless it's a spam address.

Supposedly a call from smartusa with whom I have a reservation, to "confirm" I don't want air conditioning.

Got the same call after giving my number to Carsdirect.com

Got this call right after requesting a quote from carsdirect.com, then got a restricted call, and right after that the infamous 408-228-0163.  Freaking idiots...

Unknown - no message left.

They call me!!! Who is it?? Please tell me!
