This is a scam, but I'm not sure how they are making their money. Can anyone tell me?
I got a call from 404-889-8270 today from a woman with a British/Indian sounding accent saying she was from the Yellow Pages. She said my listing was expiring and wanted to know if I wanted to renew. I told her that I had not asked for a listing in the first place and would not be interested.
She said I had "verbally" authorized a two year listing in 2010 and that I had paid for it. I asked how much I had "paid" for it... she said $500. I told her I certainly would NOT have paid $500 for a listing. She said the reason I had not paid for it is because they haven't invoiced me yet--they don't invoice until the end of the two-year listing.
I told her that I would not be paying the invoice and she said that they will send it to a collection agency. I told her, "Please do send it to a collection agency." She hung up on me.
They called my business this morning too.
Hope they don't start calling as much as Protect America did. I had to file a complaint with the FTC to get that to stop.
I just got a call from this number to update my information and renew. Told her I didn't want Yellow Pages On Line and had never ordered it. She said if I cancel, corporate would bill me $599.95 since I had been listed in 2009. When I asked why I hadn't gotten any bills yet, she said you only get billed when you cancel. My caller ID showed the number came from the Atlanta, GA area. What a SCAM. Don't give them any information and don't pay them anything. Report them to the proper authority in your state.
I got a call today from 404-889-8270 and the lady said that my husband had verbally authorized a subscription for 1 year and we owed them $599.00. He told her that he never handles that only his wife.
(me). He got into a heated argument with her and finally THREW the phone and said to talk to her. She
said she would start over and said that my husband authorized verbally to 1 year free and 1 year @ $599.00. I asked her when he did this and she said in 2009. She asked me to confirm the cancellation and accept the invoice to be paid. I told her I accepted the cancellation but would NOT accept that I owed her any money. She said she then could not cancel my subscription ( That I never had) and would send
this to her corporate office to be handled by them. It kinda sounded real because she kept referring to my husband by his first name, but his name is also in his business name. She said it was yellowpages.net
NOT yellowpages.com. but nothing comes up @ .net it just throws you into .com. CRAZY,... my daughter in-law typed the number into google and all this came up and we realized it was a scam. The lady said she would call back on Monday and we could straighten this out.......Well, I'll be waiting on that call...................
I just hung up on this phone number, and I am echoing every last comment made on here. They wanted me to pay $599.95 for the past 2 years, even though the first year was free. WE NEVER authorized anything!!! Unbelieveable! Sounds like as soon as you ok the cancellation you have accepted that you owe them this money. Do not accept the cancellation invoice. I even looked up the website, the yellowpagesonline.net and we are on it, but it looks like it is any old name and number. Just has my husband's name and address on it and says heating contractor. Doesn't even have our business name on there. Unbelieveable. I don't know who I will be reporting this to, but I am reporting this!!!!!
l had the call today, but luckily iwas in front of my computer to lookup that number adn i end up in this website. if i dont know the number i dont answer, and if they dont leave a msg i dont return the call either. so looks like they will be calling back to try to scam me but i wont answer since i know what this is about. good luck and remember sometimes you need to be rude to this suckers!!
