Scam Alert! Received a phone call from guy representing himself as YP mobile advertising, asking me to renew or cancel our google, etc. advertising. He said we had agreed to a 90-day free trial 15 months ago and had been advertising since then. I told him we didn't know we had it, and did not want to continue for several hundred dollars a year. He said, no problem, we will discontinue your service...just need to put me on hold to generate a cancellation number and then record my answer to a few questions. I asked him if there was a charge, and he said no charge for cancellation, but they typically invoice at the end of the term, so we would be getting an invoice for the previous year...again said he needed to record my authorization to cancel. He put me on hold and when he came back on, he instructed me to just answer yes or no to the few questions. At the first question, I said, "No, we did not know we had the advertising; No, we did not authorize the advertising; No, we will not be paying a bill for any such advertising; and, please do not contact us in the future." He hung up.

    Oh, and the number he called from was 514-448-2603, which has been flagged as a SCAM number.

    What do I do when I got coerced into the recording?  They are saying they are reporting me and the church I work for and it will affect my credit score and the church.

    Just got off the phone with YP mobile app. Said I had a verbal contract since 2015 and owed them $698.98 for google advertising. I have no contract with them but they say I have a verbal one. No way possible. I do written contracts only. Spoke to Tanya who said if I pay by PayPal today I can save $98.98. They show up on the phone as Customer Service 514-448-2603. Total fraud.
