I just got a call from that # now. They said I won something from my credit card company. When I stated that I do not have a credit card (After the lady named them all Visa, MasterCard etc.) she stated that I must have won by using my debit card. She then asked if my debit card has a Visa or Mastercard logo on it. When I said no, she said "oh" and hung up.

Hi,

I just wanted to post that I just got a call from the 310 number and that when I answered no one spoke so I called it back and it was a recording and I hung up and decided to do some research on the web and I came here.

It is scary to know that they might have my cc information. The only company I gave my cc information and then gave my work number as my number was when I bought something from TV, sounds silly but I bought lipozene.

What can a person do now? If someone is going through this or has had problems with this company, please let me know.

Thank you,
JJ

JJ, it sounds that the company is collecting your past debt. Is this company giving you any information in writing about the transaction you did in the past? Normally, you must have something in writing before you make a payment arrangement. This is to make sure that the company is doing a legitimate collection. If you have received nothing in the mail, ask for the details before you make any payment in the future. Make sure that your request is sent through certified mail for records and to prove your past actions.

Hi,

They called me again and they tried to do the "you won a trip" thing that linseed mentioned above.

I told her I don't have a cc and to please stop calling my place of work and then all she said was this is your work? and I said yes and then I hung up.

Should I cancel the cc that I used to buy the lipozene product? I don't have a debt with them, they took it right out of my cc card last month and now these weird calls are starting.

:o(

i too have been receiving calls from here at least 3-4 times per week, with no message. I have not answered and do not plan to return the call in fear of my number being added to a data base. Does anyone know who they are or where they get their numbers?

Contact your local attorney general. I work in an industry where we hire people to call people to solicit to them, based on prior business relationships. Because you have a prior relationship, this is legal. But, if you ask to be removed, they must within 24-48 hours. I too have received the calls, asked to be removed and have not received any further calls.

I've been getting these same calls at least 4-5 a day when I answer the call nobody is there. It's really getting frustrating and I can't get a hold of them to get them to stop. If anyone is able to get a hold of them let me know how to get a hold of them please. I'll check this post out from time to time, thank you, kimo

just received a call from the same number 310-3180779 2 days ago and 2x yesterday, they look for my husband but when i told him his not around, they hang up. when my husband called them last night, it went to voice mail.

i was searching for the information of that number and it lead me to this link. i was surprised when i looked at the date of the first post was 2 yrs ago.

i wonder how many people have been victimized by these scammers..

debt collectors do a little trick called "skip tracing".

wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_tracing

Basically, if you have filled out other forms that you have put information on that they have, they use skip tracing to get this form and get any other relevant info off to reach you. Some of these forms are readily and legally available, like some government records. Here's a site that talks more about skip tracing - pretty informative:

I have been doing some research on the internet, like you always can. And got a little something, eventhough it may not be that much help.

"Googleing" Susan Anderson, the name that comes up for the number, apparently is a romance writer. So, the company is probably for a novel publishing company.

If someone calls and asks for account information or personal information, then it is a scam. If you were already in the system of a company, they would already have the information needed to process a prize. Next time they call, ask for their business license number, and they will hang up if they are a scam.

I see that these posts are all pretty old, but I just got a call from the 310 number and this was the top site that came up when I Googled it.
Looks like whoever made all these calls is still at it. Unfortunately, I didn't answer but I hope to next time they call so I can tell them not to call again.

Hey all,
I just got ANOTHER call from these people... I got scammed about 4 months ago. Do NOT give them any information and watch your bank accounts like hawks for $1.00 charges, followed by larger ones. Believe me, they already have your banking information so don't give them any reason to use as an excuse to charge you. I had to go through a bunch of crap with my bank and the cops to get this cleared up. The companies show up on your bank statements as "Discount Savings" and "Healthy Living." BEWARE!!!

I was also looking into the 310 number because I received a call this morning while on the other line. The lady spoke perfect english, but seemed far from excited in doing her "job". In the background I could hear a male voice, and throughout the course of my conversation with the lady, I could hear the man actually selling some poor person; "would you like the girl diamond watch?".

I was only slightly cautious at first when the lady mentioned that I was being entered into a drawing -- no warning signs, yet. But then she started saying that I should subscribe to a weekly magazine for about $5/wk. I then informed her that I didn't need this.

I have worked in all several types of marketing, and this is the lowest. Calling unsuspecting people and telling them that they have a chance of winning a bogus prize in exchange for personal info is highly nefarious and possibly illegal [?].

To anyone who gets a call from this number or the numbers listed above, guard your information because the headaches come after your information is stolen.

I actually received a letter from them by mail, I have their address and actual phone number:
107 Torrance Blvd. Suite #204
Redondo Beach, CA 90277
Phone: (888)875-8568
All I know is that they'd charge 3.98 per week and on this letter it says it's 49.90 per month, what kind of math are they using??

I started receiving calls about a week ago, I didn't pick up because I didn't recognize the number-I have been going round and round with At&T about a phone bill I could not have incurred because I receive my phone services thru my cable company-but thats another story for another time. It, however, was not a 1-800#, and never seemed to leave a message, so I looked around online for more info.
What I have found out about the number:

Community Reading Club Of Southern California
Phone: 310-318-0779
Fax: 888-875-8568

PO Box 3089
Redondo Beach, California, 90277
U.S.A.

but that was out-dated info from 2006, so I dug a bit deeper and found this as well:

Worldwide Preferred Publisher????????s Service Inc

119 W Torrance Blvd

Redondo Beach, CA 90277

310-318-5822
310-318-0779

In short its a rip-off company that will tell you that you won some wonderful trip-and/or item, but they need to verify your credit card information(of which they already have the credit card numbers)for one reason or another, then slide in charges-even if you say no thank you, to your card-so plz watch your bank and credit card statements. Some of the charges will be for as little as $1 and range up. My husband once answered the phone, and not knowing he answered a few of their questions, then declined their very kind offer, then learned that our card was charged every other week $50, then a series of $1 charges. We had to change our card and was told by our bank that many of the online companies practice 'sharing/selling credit card information'. So in closing, be careful, watch your statements and if you do any shopping online do so with a prepaid card. Its how I now shop online. Sorry so long.

I got a call from that number too. I answered it and the guy said he was Chris with WWP. He said that because I am a preferred customer with a Visa credit card that the company (where I received my credit card) put me into a drawing to win money and a new car. He wanted to verify my address but i declined and i am not interested in anything you have.

Well my friend it appears that the cc info that is being provided to Lipozene is being sold as leads or is being stolen from files and sold by an unethical employee.

I too purchased Lipozene and am now having problems with calls and misc. purchases showing up on my credit card that I used as payment for Lipozene.

I would suggest everyone contact Lipozene and then cancel their cards. :x
