"Hi ****** this is Ashley giving you a call from the records department of KM Campgrounds regarding a credit that needs to be posted to your file. Please call 253-682-5897."
KM Campgrounds is a membership "resort" RV park network, similar to Thousand-Trails or Coast-to-Coast. They are set up in the lobby of Camping World stores and lure you with cookies and promises of free camping, and can even get a bit aggressive as you try to leave the store. I always tell them "NO WAY" because I have never met anyone (including my parents) who were ever anything but regretful for ever buying into those things. Well, I just recently purchased a Camping World "VIP" discount card (outfitting a new RV) and opted out of emails, etc. I even gave them my K7 telephone number just in case, which is where I received the message above. I now know where KM got my number for their fishing expedition. (I also get DAILY emails from CW anyway, despite opting out.)

Well, I'm pretty sure I've never been to Camping World but I just got this call, too. I did just cancel a reservation at a camp site so I may still call just to be totally sure. I'm sure it's a scam given the way the message came across, though. Too quickly stated and assertive.
I have received a couple of these calls and i am so glad that i looked this up like this because they make it sound on the message like they are a bill collector that i haven't paid! And she only says she is from KM and not further information. I too have never been to camping world so i have no idea how they got my number, but either way they have it. The said the exact same thing in my message ""Hi ****** this is Miranda giving you a call from the records department of KM regarding a credit that needs to be posted to your file. Please call 253-682-5897."
I just received a call from this SAME company. They said we had a credit for a camping reservation that my husband won. I researched the phone # and company right away and came up with "total SCAM" We have never shopped at Camping World, bought an RV from a dealer or filled out a silly contest form at the Puyallup Fair. All of which is how they apparently got our home phone number. There was NO CREDIT or PRIZE, just a scam. They were also quite rude. If you get this call, ask them to remove you from their list and HANG UP!!
