I just had the same type of call come to my office. If I had not pulled up this website while I was still on the phone with them, they might have succeeded in their little scheme. I am curious to know, where is everyone from? I got this call in Marietta, GA.
They called our office a few times and I just felt it wasn't on the up and up so asked them to take me off their list... which they didn't and called again with the same VERY PUSHY pitch that we're already listed, we're not charging you anything right now, we'll just send you an invoice for a the discounted 2 years for your listing, etc. "Mac" would not give me a phone number nor a website, that alone told me something. They just need you to say you authorize them sending an invoice and since it's a recorded line, that's where they get you. DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANYTHING! If you indeed do have a listing through your local Yellow Pages most likely you're paying it along with your phone bill. Tell them you want to CANCEL your listing and do not ever want to be listed again with them. Since it's not a real company and it has nothing to do with the actual Yellow Pages you are losing nothing. If you authorize the listing, you're out $450.
I read somewhere online that they are indeed scammers and that you do not have to pay if you are tricked. All you have to do apparantly is report them to the better business bureau.
DO NOT PAY THEIR BILL if you get scammed. Contact the attorney generals office and report this company as a scam. One of our store employees verified the information last year and then they started billing us. Then the collection calls started so we contacted the attorney general and this company stopped trying to collect the fake bill. Everything was great for about a year until this week they called again to verify the information. I told him that this is a scam and put our number on the do not call list. He got mad and started yelling at me and told me "you don't know how I can screw you over." I told him yes I do know and I do know how to defend our company. So don't pay the bill and contact the attorney general!
Emailed our Attourny General... we will see what happens. The 'collections dept' is called the boiler room btw... so if anyone has trouble with them, just tell them that.
