This is a scam -- the giveaway is that they keep calling after being told that you are not interested. No legitimate company would do that. They are hoping that someone else will pick up the phone who might go along with it. There are many groups doing this, using various names for their online directories. If anyone calls you about an online directory listing, assume it's a scam.
The con comes when they transfer you to someone to "verify" the information. Then they phrase the questions in a deliberately deceptive way to get you to agree to some service which will be billed along with your monthly phone bill, or they edit your answers into a recording to make it appear that you have agreed. (Tip: never answer "yes" to any question. It might be edited into a bogus recording.) The service itself may be legitimate, but the tactics used by the scam artists at the call centers are not. They target businesses because a business may not notice the charge for months (or longer), by which time the call center has been paid for signing up the new client.
Check with your phone company and see if they will allow you to block all third-party billing on your account -- Verizon, for instance, will do this. This will prevent anyone from adding a service to your phone bill without it first being verified by you.
Have had several calls from them last week or so.The hard to understand lady said if I hung up when she transfered me to her quality supervisior they would just keep calling back. I told her to remove my number from her list then hung up. Yep there still calling our number. I filed complaint with do not call registry.
These idiots have call me 8 times this week. I'm with Alice, go to the DO NO CALL REGISTRY and report them.
BTW, when you file a DBA in California, do not use a real phone number on the paperwork if you work at home. These are public record and scammers use the Fictitious Business Name database to get your number harass you with telemarketing calls. I've been getting calls for 12 years!
This company keeps calling me to update my listing. After I up date the information they switch me to a "supervisor" to verify the update information. I hung up on them the first time after they were supposed to transfer me. They kept calling me and I would hang up. They called today and asked me not to hang up, they just wanted to update my listing. I was transferred to a "supervisor" who would verify my information. I refused to give them my last name a bunch of times, giving them just my last initial, but they said I had to give my last name. They have recorded questions that ask yes or no questions and the supervisor says he will push the # key after my answers. When the recording starts telling a bunch of info (maybe about charges to your phone bill) the supervisor is shouting over it telling you to have your paper handy to write the toll free number down. The company was called "Green Certification." The number they give to call is 877-640-5958
