Scammer from credit union

Hey

I hear with these types of offers the scam comes at the end.  You are obligated to pay for an annual membership, but the $8 monthly fee is only good for Nine months, not the full 12, and there is no option for cancelling early.

this isn't a scam, for those who are looking into it. i didn't get called by this number i got called by another one, i actually went to the fitness center in marysville, met with the personal trainer, and signed up. it's cheap, and a steal, and you get everything they say you do.  i even made sure i read the contract before i signed and payed, and no scam. so these people didn't know what a good deal was to at least go check it out.

I received the call from a 616 number, not a 586 - but it was the same message. I was actually thinking of swit****g to Viking Fitness for the summer anyway so I let the guy talk and gave him my name - I figure I was going to pay full price to go there, so why not get a discounted price if I could? I was told $3.84 a week, as a maintenance fee - so about $16 a month to use their facilities. I already pay about $30 a month, which was the best rate I could find in the area. I was also told to go to the Marysville location to meet with someone.So, is this really a scam? Or are they just misleading with how low the discounted price is?

I have no idea who this is.

wow, i have heard of SO many people getting the call. A few of my friends joined and feel scamed and pushed into it. I checked out anytime fitness, the ymca and cutting edge health & fitness, thes facilities were much cleaner and NO scams.

Has anyone every heard of DDG Holdings or Mirage Consulting Inc. Of Tx/ Omega Solutions

I got a call from 586-803-8272 and it was the same thing, only 'Kim' told me it was Powerhouse in Rochester. It was the $8.00 monthly fee and my name was pulled out of a drawing. Which I can tell you I never entered a drawing. I will say that she was surprised when I said I already had a gym membership. She didn't even argue - she just ***g up!!

I got a call from 1-586-803-8272 and a call back (after an issue) from 1-586-803-8261. Same scam, different verbage. They now say it's an $8 maintenance fee. I even got a rude voicemail from one stating the next time they need my services they know not to call. I called back to clear up the issue and they said they don't have time to handle customer issues. Sounded like a bunch of teenage girls playing on the phone. WOW! what a way to build a business :(

I just received a call today from a different 586#. When I called, they also said they were calling from Viking Fitness in Marysville and they were using the 586 number.  I told them I never applied and I don't know any friends who would use my cell.  I then called Marysville Viking fitness directly and I swear it was the same 2 people who I just talked to (one was indeed named Kevin).

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

I also got this call today from a girl who supposedly worked at this fitness center. Why would the call be coming from Utica, MI? I'm less than a mile from Maryville and about the same distance to both Port Huron and Marysville fitness centers and I find it strange that the call comes from UTICA. She said the same thing: I won some 2 year free membership (for 2 people) through some unknown raffle/referral program and all they got is my number. They said I had to pay $8 to cover "Maintenance" and come in to see someone named Kevin.I don't think I'll be coming in to meet Kevin.

Got a call from 586-566-5972. The girl identified herself as Heather and said I had been one of 25 people who had won a free 2 year membership to Viking Fitness in a refer a friend sweepstakes. She said to come to the gym on Monday and see Kevin the manager to claim my prize. She said that by law they could not cover the $8 per month charge for insurance in case I got hurt on the equipment. The sad thing is, our son has been a member and after this sham, he will be quitting. There has to be better ways for Viking Fitness to promote memberships.
