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 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.
