We received a call from this number today, claiming they are with the Yellow Pages. My husband owns his own business, so I figured it was legit. The lady that was calling immediately started asking me to verify our phone number, address, etc, but never once asked who she was speaking to or if it was even a business she was calling (Which is wasn't, she called the house). After she asked me if all the information was correct, she asked me what I do for the business. I told her that I don't work for the business at all, so then she started asking to speak to my husband. I put him on the phone and she made him verify everything, but then started telling him that he would receive papers in the mail that he had to read, sign, and send back, and that he would be charged for it. My husband then was put through to a man and the man explained again that he would be sent the papers that he had to read, sign, and return and pay for it. My husband immediately told him that he was not interested and the guy went off on him, telling him that he was not listening to him. Then he explained it all again and my husband told him again that he was not interested and to take him off of his list. The guy tried to explain it again and my husband just hung up. The man called back and tried again, but my husband told him that #1 we are on the do not call list, #2 he has already said he isn't interested and to take him off his list, and #3 if he called back, he would report it as harassment. Then he nicely asked the guy not to call again and hung up. We never did get names of the ones we were talking to, but it did show up on called ID as Tyler Abney. I don't think that if it were a real business it would show up under someone's name and not a business name. Plus, why would someone be calling South Carolina from California to get a number in a local phone book? Just be careful if this person calls.

I received a call today from this number saying they were with the Digital Yellow Pages and wanted to update my free, complimentary listing. I told them this was a private residential phone, not a business but they insisted that I was a business line. I asked them to remove my name from the call list and they said "we don't do that" and hung up.
