This scam campaign centers around a network of 6 phone numbers, 2 websites, and Credit Corp Solutions Inc., a debt collection company with 2,729 CFPB complaints. The operation appears to use deceptive health product advertisements and fake debt collection notices to target consumers. Phone number 866-637-2482 serves as the primary hub, connected through same-campaign relationships to 888-965-2251 and 601-983-8038 with 0.70 confidence levels, while also being co-reported with domains www.slimmest.site and cartpanda.com.
The campaign employs multiple deceptive tactics across different fronts. Community reports reveal that consumers are being targeted through Facebook advertisements for products like "Memotrill" and "BurnSlim," allegedly endorsed by Dr. Jennifer Ashton, which redirect users to www.slimmest.site. Simultaneously, other consumers report receiving fake debt collection notices in the mail instructing them to call 888-965-2251 "IMMEDIATELY" as a "final attempt to notify" them, with what appears to be a check attachment that is not legitimate. Additional phone numbers in the network include 302-618-4094, 972-737-4943, and 737-250-7344, which show co-reporting patterns and same-campaign connections, suggesting coordinated operations.
The infrastructure analysis reveals concerning patterns, with cartpanda.com registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on March 15, 2015, and both domains being co-reported with the central phone number 866-637-2482. Credit Corp Solutions Inc. shows direct connections to both the primary phone number (confidence 0.59) and the slimmest.site domain, indicating potential involvement in both the health product scams and debt collection schemes. Despite the extensive network connections, none of the 6 phone numbers have generated FTC complaints yet, suggesting this may be an emerging or recently shifted campaign.
To protect yourself from these scams, always verify the legitimacy of health product endorsements by checking directly with the celebrity or doctor's official website or social media accounts, rather than trusting Facebook advertisements. For debt collection notices, legitimate debt collectors must provide written validation of debts within five days of initial contact, and you should never be pressured to call immediately. If contacted by any of these numbers or directed to these websites, hang up immediately, do not click on links, and do not provide personal or financial information. Report suspicious calls and websites to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file complaints with the FCC. You can verify if a phone number or domain is safe by checking consumer protection databases and searching online for scam reports.
This campaign represents a moderate threat level due to its multi-vector approach combining health product scams with debt collection fraud, despite the current lack of formal FTC complaints. Consumers should remain vigilant for Facebook health product advertisements directing to unfamiliar websites and be suspicious of urgent debt collection notices received by mail. Continued monitoring of these entities is recommended, and consumers who have been contacted should report their experiences to help build a stronger case against this network.
