THE REP ON THE OTHER END TOLD ME HE WAS Official Yellow Pages AND WANTED TO VERIY OUR BUSINESS INFORMATION...I told him that I did not okay any information to any other yellow pages for our business but Dex.
I told him I'm not giving him any premission. I said NO! and he hung up.
Got a call this morning and the guy with heavy India accent. He asks for the office manager and I think it is a scam so I ask him in return what kind of listing you referring too and are your company related to AT&T or BellSouth. I also ask is this free listing, he said no and I told him our office is not interested and he hung up the phone immediately. I tried to call back and want to complain how rude he is and take my office phone number off the list but the phone number is not in service. This is definitely a scam.
Got a call again, 7.24.07. Same crap. Indian accent, asked for office manager. Said he was from the yellow pages. I asked which one he said The Official Yellow Pages. I asked if it was different from Yellow Book b/c i was trying to find out what company he was calling from so i could call back later and tell them to stop calling. He hung up as soon as i asked. This is at least the 5th call from them and its getting old. Def. not a legit business call. I wish i knew who to call to stop the harrasment. Its getting old.
I did a reverse lookup on the number after calling it and getting a phony disconnect message. I found out it is a verizon number. Called Verizon and reported it they are going to take action.
A lady with heavy accent keeps calling me and says the same as above...she has called three different days now. This is what I do know for sure: These scammers are NOT connected with Yellow Book as my brother is a sales rep for Yellow Book and he can confirm this is not his company.
I have also received this same information in the mail in the past and it is very innocent and official looking...in fine print it says that you okay the the cost of $399 for being listed.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE INFO THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE AND DO NOT CONFIRM THE INFO THEY DO HAVE.
They are dicks and they can find this sounding board as easy as we did so be careful what you share with these scammers.
Alright this is getting insane, how do we get they calls to stop, have been getting calls 2 times a day from 212-440-9180, always asking for manager, tell the managers in Dallas, have told them to stop calling that we were not interested, they just hang up after telling them this BUT they call back.
