I am calling to inform about…
The English verb to inform doesn’t always work the same way as 'informeren' in Dutch. You can inform someone about events, but when you are looking for information about a topic, you cannot use the verb. 
Rather, you say "I would like to inquire about…" or "I am looking for more information about…"
