This is a scam caller, not a legitimate caller, posing as World Gym at Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights, MI, stating that you won 2 free gym memberships. Calls from both 586-566-3491 and 586-566-3387.

I Had this phone call 3 times claiming the same thing.

I got this call on tuesday afternoon (3/10/09) at 4:20pm. Said I won a 2-yr membership to World Gym at either 23 mile and Schoenherr or Hall and Gratiot. Said they sponser several different sweepstakes and that I won one of them. To bad I am not going to show for my appointment next week.

I set my fax to call this number for about an hour.  Boy isn't VOIP great.

Just had someone call me from that number as well. Said I won a 2 year membership to World Gym. Said a friend entered my name in.

Recieved a call today at 3:52pm from 586-803-8256 giving me the same speech about how my friend entered me in a raffle and I won gym membership for two.

Received a call today also from this number. She said I won a free membership to World Gym @ 23 & Schoenherr. I said thats funny I've never been there and she hung up.

Same number.  Same call.

I got a missed call this afternoon. I called back and a lady saying that a won 2 prize free. She wanted me to come in and get it. I told her no I'm not interested in it and she hanged up the phone on me right away. I thought something is suspicious.

I am going to keep spamming them I keep calling them over and over and over again no one will mess with me

So i got the phone call so did my husband both within mins apart. My husband is a police officer in which he called the number back from his work and informed them that he recieved some complaints! So I called the number from my house phone and informed the girl on the other end that i informed the police department and if my number is called again, action will be taken as necessary! She appoligized and said it wouldnt happen again! I think that if you do that with a lot of people it will deter them from trying again! Still unsure how they got my number in the first place, i am very careful with whom i give it out to. So I can just assume Verizon has something to do with this!
I can say that it seems to be harmless basically just a business trying to bring in more people, but this is not the way to go about it, nor should they try to hide anything!

I got a call on my cell phone... fitness center membership... didn't enter any !!

It was a young girl who said that World Fitness Center had just did a raffle and that I had won a free 2 yr membership for 2 people and that I only had to pay a fee of $8 a month for insurance fees. She asked me my name to make sure she had the right person. She then asked if I knew who I would be bringing with me and I said my friend and I gave her her name and number. She then asked when I was going to come in and I said Saturday around 3 and then she asked if I've over eighteen. I replied with no and then gave her my mothers name and phone number and she said when I come in to ask for her boss Joe and he will give me a tour.

I set my fax program to call this number constantly.  That kind of kills their desire to call back.  boy VOIP is wonderful.

A woman called said I received 2 free gym memberships for 2 years. I live in Chicago and have nothing to do with World Gym nor does my family in MI.

I got a call saying that a won 2 years free at thw World Gym. She wanted me to come in and see the place. I told her sorry I couldn't do it and she said ok I will call you on Tuesday then. Something is suspicious.

Yeah. I just got that call today too. I figured it was some stupid joke because I never went on any fitness site or any gym. Plus the girl hung up after I said no.

Well, I got this call today. I thought it was cool; so I looked it up. It seems everyone else here says its not legit. But I called the number of the World Gym she said I won it at, and they said they do have a 2 year free thing that goes on. So, as of now, it's real for me. But I haven't accepted it, I'm not sure if I'm interested...

I GOT A MISSED CALL FROM THIS NUMBER TODAY WITH NO MESSAGE AND I ALSO DIDNT KNOW THE NUMBER SO I LOOKED IT UP AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND!!!

I received the exact same call today.  The free 2 yr membership to World Gym on 23 & Schoennherr.  Same phone number and everything.  I'm glad I decided to do some research before accepting anything!  I appreciate you guys posting this info.  I think I am going to make a complaint against them.

I received a phone call from this phone number today.  I was told that I had been entered into a drawing and had won 2 free memberships to World Gym.  I asked her if there were any outside of Michigan, because I am in Oklahoma, and she said she wasn't sure.  She asked if she would prefer me to find a new winner for the contest.

I got a call from this number today as well, stating that I won 2 free memberships to a World Gym.  I asked the young girl who called if she knew who entered my name and she said she didn't have that information.  She then stated that I wouldn't have any fees charged, only the $8 a month insurance fee for injury to yourself or damages to equipment (which I've never heard of).  She then wanted to know when I could come in and the get the memberships and I told her I would call back because I felt this was a bit suspicous.

I received a call from this number with no message today as well... it's not a number I know.

I also got a call from this phone number, only it showed up as a "missed call" and when I called back all I got was a busy tone as well.

I got a call saying I won  2  memberships to Lifetime fitness for 2 years. I thought it sound it weird so I called the gym and they said that Lifetime does not do anything like that. I called the number back and it rang and than went into a busy tone. It was a young girl and she said to ask for Madison or Jackulyn
