Scammers using UPS stores as cover for their operations: A couple of years ago, I was receiving spam e-mails that gave an actual, on the ground, address. Using the White Pages and Google Maps, I tracked the address to a UPS store in Florida. The address of the company included what appeared to be a box number. It turned out that the box number was a space on a shelf in the store.
I reported the whole business to 800notes and the FCC right off. Then, to test the address, I sent a registered letter (as requested) by the company through UPS to demand that my contact information be removed from their records. The letter was returned "no such address". I was out $10.00, but I never heard from the scumbags again.
NOTE: There are numerous such cover operations. They have an office, a phone, an e-mail connection, and a space on a shelf at a UPS store -- in what I suspect are some of the seedier parts of towns like Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. When I checked back later on the company, all the original company information was gone. I suspect that they had morphed into another identity. I now mark as "spam" any odd advertising e-mails that show up on my e-mail accounts. This seems to cut down on the incidence of such e-mails, thank goodness.
The address isn't an empty lot. According to usps.com, it's the address of a commercial mail receiving agency, such as a UPS Store or perhaps a Regus Office rental location. Judging by the context, I would guess it to be more likely a UPS-type mail box rental location.
The phone appears to be a Verizon cell phone number nominally located in Savannah, GA.
The OP does violate the TOS, however, and should be taken down.
There's nothing inherently wrong about starting a small business with a web site, using a free web-based email address, and using a UPS Store to receive correspondence. What is wrong, I think, is violating the TOS of a web site by posting spam advertisements.
It also shows a lot of business naïvety to place an ad in a reverse telephone directory -- one that is consulted when you have the telephone number of an unwanted caller and want to find out who it is rather than one that is arranged by name or business type where you know the name or type of business you want and are looking for a phone number. Worse, it takes a lot of chutzpah to violate the TOS that way in a directory having world-wide coverage when the business only caters to one relatively small town.

The house address I got from running the site in a checker I use-I find it strange that a place that deals in sunrooms would have a UPS box or be run out of a home-those are generally run out of a showroom so people can get an idea of what they're looking at-never heard of one run this way. You can see where my suspicion comes from right?
