FTC Sues to Halt "Yellow Pages" Business Directory Scams
4 Jun 2009
The Federal Trade Commission has filed suit to halt the illegal operations of several telemarketing boiler rooms in Montreal, Canada. The agency alleged that the telemarketers bilked thousands of small- and medium-sized U.S. businesses and non-profits, including churches, schools, and charities, out of millions of dollars by deceiving them into paying for listings they never ordered in worthless business directories.

The FTC lawsuits, filed in federal court in Illinois, are part of a joint initiative with Canadian law enforcement authorities called 'Operation Mirage' that is aimed at cracking down on business directory scams. The FTC charged that the three telemarketing operations targeted businesses and other organizations with schemes to mislead them into paying hundreds of dollars each for unwanted business directory listings. The court has issued temporary restraining orders in the three cases.

In their phone calls to businesses and non-profits, the telemarketers often have posed as well-known local 'yellow pages' directories, and have told employees who answer the phone that they are calling to verify addresses and telephone numbers, the FTC's complaints stated. The telemarketers then used the 'verifications' as the basis to claim that these organizations agreed to listings that often cost $400 or more.

The FTC alleged that the companies then sent their victims invoices that again often imply that they are well-known yellow-pages companies. Many businesses and organizations simply paid these invoices. Those that did not were harassed with threatening phone calls and letters. To hide their location, the companies have used mailing addresses around the United States, in Miami; Phoenix; Plattsburgh, New York; Port Barre, Louisiana; Russell, Illinois; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Jersey City, New Jersey, the FTC alleged.

The complaints were filed against Reed Publishing, National Yellow Pages Online LLC, Integration Media Inc., doing business as GoAm Media, and others as well as their operators.

The Commission is seeking permanent injunctions that would force the defendants

This is a real problem.  This number is the fax line for a probation company in Missouri and someone has "stolen" their number.  The company that called me was a yellow pages company wanting me to verify my information.  I told them I was not interested and did not want any more calls from them, yet, 30 minutes later I got another call. What agency can this be reported to?

This is a scam.

They ask for personal business information, then try to get permission to put charges on your business telephone number.  Sounds like a scam.

They hung up before my answering machine picked up. Caller ID said "Out Of Area". I live in New York State, I don't know anyone that would call me outside the area codes familiar to me locally. I'm wondering if the 'Out Of Area' is done by the 'company' - who I assume it was that called me (sales or political etc) or does the phone company assign this instead of 'Private' which pops up when friends that I know who have unlisted numbers call me. If its the company, is it a ploy to get you to 'pick up' playing on ones fears that a friend or relative is trying to get through to you ? They figure that if the company name was revealed on the caller ID, they know I will ignore it ?
