Called and left no message.

Got the same call from the "Westside Gym" in Chelsea, MI.  Same spiel as you all listed.  I have a coworker who works out in the area so I thought he might have actually entered me in such a contest.  Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to catch on and "confirmed" (now I realize they didn't have it) my first and last name.  The number was listed as Utica, MI and was 586-803-8049.  UPDATE:I just got off the phone with the real Westside Gym in Chelsea, MI (734-475-1900).  They are aware of this and apparently it is a legitimate deal.  It's a marketing company that makes these calls for the gym (at least the one in Chelsea).  The woman at the gym said they will honor the "contest deal" as the marketer stated it (two-year membership for two at only $8/month).  I'm not going to do it, but I thought this might be helpful info.

I also got a call, found it very interesting and confronted the ******* the other line (who did not/would not give a name). Since I did not enter any "contest", live 6 blocks from the gym she claims I won it at, which has been closed (due to the economy) for about a year and I use the gym at the college where I am a student (for free) I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM. Saying I would need to act in 48 hrs and pay the monthly fee of $8 (on my credit card) for BOTH memberships I had own. Even asking if I "WON?" why am I asked to pay for a gift. When I said I would check with the owner of the gym myself by driving over there - she was very quick to say she must have a wrong number and sorry for bothering me today and ***G UP.

I got a call saying that I should come in to claim my free membership that I won.  Call came from a 586 number and I live in the 517 area code.  I told her it must be a mistake because we didn't register to win any membership and we don't live in the 586 area code.  She then proceded to tell me that it was for the Power House gym in Jackson (which is where we live).  Her name was Jaqueline and she asked me to call back to let her know when I can come it to claim the free membership

Same thing happened to me this afternoon however the number was 586-803-8061, two year membership own, for me and a friend.  Want me to meet manager in next few days.  $8.00 month maintenance fee not covered.   The different twist was that someone entered my name into a contest and I had won the two year membership.  She asked me for my first name and I was not quick enough to realize that she was fishing and told her.  I know no-one I know would enter me into a contest and I NEVER enter contest.  Don't know what they are fishing for, but certainly will not go to see what this is about.

I just got a call from this number today, and said that I'd won a 2 person 2-year membership to "Westside Gym" in Chelsea.  However, the 586 area code is Utica, MI.  She asked what my name was, and unfortunately, my antennae weren't sensitive enough to catch the scam, and told her my first name.  She then said, "That's what I have."  She said that I would have to pay an $8/month maintenance fee, but the $100 initiation fee and $40/month membership fee were covered by them.  She then pushed me into meeting with one of the managers in the next 3 days.  I thought that I should look up some info on this, and set a meeting just to get off the phone.After looking up some info, and thinking about how I'm sure that I never entered such a contest (what would I need with a gym membership, even if free?) I called the number back.  The same woman answered "Westside Gym".  I asked where I would have entered this contest that I won, and she said so****ing about entry boxes at area malls and at the gym itself.  Since I haven't lived in the area for a year and half, and haven't been back to visit, (nor would any of my friends have entered me in such a contest) I was certain at that point that she was lying.Unfortunately, these people have my name and cell number.  But hopefully, by reporting this, others will be able to avoid getting scammed.

I called it back...she answered "lifestyle fitness for women" and explained they are a wellness center. I told her that I'm on the national do not call list and to take my name off...she ***g up on me.
