Area wide phone book people checking to make sure their book was delivered to us. We may be the last advertiser so they want to make sure.

Local Edge Phone Book -

No its not. I just answered them, they asked for someone who doesn't even live at this address, and then I asked who was calling, they just hung up in my ear.

This phone number keeps calling repeatedly and says he is testing the lines.

No message early morning call. did not call back.

They called me, but they hung up before I could feed the fax machine.

Got a call this morning.  I fed it to my fax machine.

My store received a call from them this morning and my associate answered.  They wanted to verify the address to mail a refund check to me.  Sounded hinky, so I told the associate that i was not here, don't verify anything and take a message.  They left no message and said they would mail the check anyway.  

After reading through the previous posts, I have to wonder why they would send a refund check to me.  I have never done business with them in the past, and the phone books they are delivering (if that is the case) are free.  If I didn't get one, what refund would there be?  Still sounds hinky to me.

Don't stress!  This is a very large, very legitimate company.  My boss takes their calls and doesn't take 99% of the calls that come in!

Local Edeg is a very large, very legitimate digital advertising company.  LOL!

Got call from this number this morning. I am the do not call list.

GOOGLE this: "Local Edge 716-875-9100"   you will get this company: http://internetmarketing.localedge.com/ THEIR 800 # is: 888-659-7485  - - NOW, feel free to annoy THEM for awhile, or just call and insist the calls stop! Have fun!!

These people just dont get do not call

Just had call from this number on caller ID.  This type of unsolicited calls happen all the time.  How can the calls be stopped?  Being on the "don't call list" doesn't stop them. Feel mad and helpless.

Just called here, at 7:30 AM....they hung up when I answered to ask why they call this early...It's still only 8:30 in buffalo....

My daughter tells me people like this call and won't talk, hoping you will call their number to find out who called.  If you do, then they can call you back with more nuisance calls without getting into trouble with the "do not call" regulations.  Your only protection is NEVER to call back an unknown number that left no message!

Call two to four times/day ... no message.  I am on "do not call lists"

I've received 3 calls from the phone # 716-875-9100.  The 2 times I answered the caller immediately hung up.  The 1 time I didn't answer no message was left.    I am going to block this number so it can't annoy me in the future!

Caller said he was from local edge media formerly the target phone book trying to sell me internet services and advertising space in whatever publication

The only thing we want less than your phone books is your damn phone call.

STOP CALLING US. It's not our job to make sure you clowns get paid.

They are checking to see if the independent contractors they hire to deliver the phone books actually delivered them (or tossed them into a dumpster). The delivery people won't get paid if they didn't deliver the phone books.

Called to ask if I had received the local "Area-Wide" phone book. I said yes. They are just checking to see if the delivery people has actually delivered it. They won't pay them unless they did. You people getting your knickers in wad - chill out and have a drink.

keeps calling.

Got the phone call early this afternoon and they asked for my mom. She's been at work and I tried to take a message and they just hung up on me. It was really rude.

The key word is "established "... it sounds like THIS STILL DOESN'T APPLY to ALL/MOST of us on this forum... https://www.donotcall.gov/faq/faqbusiness.aspx  


What about an established business relationship?

A telemarketer or seller may call a consumer with whom it has an established business relationship for up to 18 months after the consumer's last purchase, delivery, or payment - even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. In addition, a company may call a consumer for up to three months after the consumer makes an inquiry or submits an application to the company. And if a consumer has given a company written permission, the company may call even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.

One caveat: if a consumer asks a company not to call, the company may not call, even if there is an established business relationship. Indeed, a company may not call a consumer - regardless of whether the consumer's number is on the registry - if the consumer has asked to be put on the company's own do not call list.

Just goes to show, if you're a business, you're not very savvy! Why should we call you to tell you that we are NOT a business!  A little bass-actwards, don't you think!!!

Here's the URL to file a complaint against this number... https://www.donotcall.gov/

I'll give him/them to EOB today to stop, then add the BBB in New York (Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Niagara Falls)...

MK-  get another job... if you can't understand that you are being annoying, maybe you should be at the receiving end of your nonsense! To paraphrase you...
"You are an annoying tele-marketer! Not a business consultant!"

It is the newly re-branded Talking Phone Book. The call is from their center in Buffalo to verify you got your new directory. Answering the call helps the person who delivered the book correctly get paid.

Same thing happened to me they called and didn't leave a message.
