G.H. small business owner
Country: United States
I am sole owner of my company and the only one to authorize any advertising. I receive a past due notice to our working address ( all my billing is designated to go to a PO BOX ) for the amount of $599.99 with an additional 27.40 interest charges. When I called to let the company know that I have not ordered nor authorized any advertisement as a matter of fact I CUT advertising at the end of last year with At&T real yellow pages, the operator stated I must talk to collections. I said transfer me and she said no one was available to take my call. I said I will hold and she said we will have to call you back. This has SCAM written all over it!!!!!!!!!! Beware.....

    File fraud complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and at www.ic3.gov
    If you receive a fraudulent invoice, file a mail fraud complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspector

    Same thing - same amount - same freaking interest charges.  I can't believe these people.  We'll see what the FTC or State Attorney General's office does.  I filed complaint with BBB and they contacted company.  Company responded within 24 saying complaint was invalid because they have their previous phone recording of me agreeing to their charges.  Well - of course that is what was recorded - following 45 minutes of frustrating conversation.  I thought I was going to be able to cancel or something like that - it was a nightmare conversation.  I'll NEVER get sucked up again like that.

    Yes.  $599.99 plus interest charges for a total of Same exact thing.  Said they would give me a discount of $50 and wipe out the interest charges if I paid right away.  I declined.

    I got the exact same thing.  $599 charge + 27.40 in interest charges.  They did have a phone recording of me agreeing to the charges and everything, but it was only a couple of months ago that the recording was supposedly created.  There is no way I would've agreed to that because I've been flat broke for the past 10 months, living paycheck to paycheck and the business being advertised has been out of business for 5 years!  I'm sure the phone recording was doctored because the fax number I gave on the recording hasn't been used for over 3 years!

    Total scam.  They contacted our office and said that they had been contacted by someone in our office to cancel the account and would I verify the mailing address.  From that point on, they recorded the conversation.  They called today and said they were from a collection agency.  I told them we did not have a contract with Yellow Pages Public.  They played back the recording of me verifying the address and they claim that by me verifying the address that gave them contract approval!  When I told the woman they did have the beginning of the conversation recorded, she denied that.  Then she admitted she was an employeee of Public Yellow Pages and I was not therefore, I did not know what I was talking about.  She was very belligernet with me and I ended the phone conversation.  We have 2 employees in our office and neither one has approved a contract with Yellow Pages Public.  We will not be paying the $599.99.
