I fell for the verifying information gig after being harassed for two days by someone saying I signed up for the yellow pages service for our business two years ago with the first year free and now need to pay $599.95 for the second year. I told them I never signed up, and I never sign up for anything free if I need to remember to cancel in the future. Also that this kind of advertising doesn't work for our business. They threatened me with collections and said that if I didn't cancel that day (March 2012) I was agreeing to pay another $599.95 for the upcoming year. So I told them they could send the bill, but I wouldn't pay it. We got the bill yesterday and among other things, we called YellowPages Online and asked for the recording of my agreement. We could tell it was cut and pasted and left out most of what was said making it sound like I happily ordered the service in March. We filed with the US Post Office for mail fraud. Is there anything else I can do to fight this? Can they actually do anything?

Yellow Pages 365 online has the practice of contacting businesses and asking them if they want to contniue their advertising with them.  I stated "No, because I was not even aware of who they were and that I had an ad with them."  The caller then states he will be sending an agreement to discontinue services and a final bill." I then stated "Oh no, you are running a scam.", the caller hung up on me.

Rec'd call this morning from a lady stating that she was with the Yellow Pages and would we like to renew our contract.  She actually said, " Yeah, it's been open since 2010 and it's doing very well." I am the office manager and  told her we did not have any contracts with an online yellow page company.  She was very very rude and then demanded to speak to the owner.  She spoke to the owner and he verified what I had said and asked to be taken off the call list.  This stuff is happening so frequently now!  Telemarketers just flat out lie now!!! WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS!!!

Didn't answer the call, don't answer calls that i cannot identify.  Please remove my name from the list I'm broke and I am sure that they are looking for money.

yelow page scam

I was ready for her the second time she called me.  I had already called Yellow Pages.com, where we are listed, and they told me the listing is free for just a search.  I told the caller I had called YP and verified that it's a free listing.  Pretty much silence on the other end and then caller said "ok then."   Don't think she was ready for that!

I find it interesting that so many people on here actually engage in conversation with these scammers. Don't. Just as soon as they ID themselves, tell them NO, don't call and hang up. Don't listen to them. If you actually get an invoice in the mail - send a copy to your state attorney's general, the Post Master General ( it is now mail fraud) and the Florida state Attorney's General (they probably have an online site to report his kind of thing. May not do anything, BUT if enough people report it, they generally will look into it.
And you can probably find them on the BBB. File a report. I take the time to do it when they raise their ugly zombie heads.

Got a call this morning and gave the caller my air horn..very satisfying

Don't engage with them, don't answer them. Just as soon as you hear they are US yellowpages online or whatever, tell them Foff and hang up.

Why listen to their BS? just as soon as she ID'ed herself to me this morning. I told her no, don't call us again and hung up while she was still talking. i also keep an air horn on my desk. If they call again, they get to hear it. Picked it up for a buck at the dollar store.

Forward a copy of that invoice to your state attorney's office and the florida state attorney and the US postal service if that is how you received the invoice. Don't bother dealing with it in any other way. Just file it and forget about it unless they pop up again. Once you get an invoice, it is mail fraud.

We keep getting calls from this number and they hang up.  Stop it !

Received a call from this number.  The woman did not state her name or company, asked to speak with the office manager and when I asked who was calling she stated that she was with Yellow Pages and needed to close and settle our online account from 2010.  I repeatedly told her that we did not have an account with Yellow Pages and she was rather nasty about the whole situation.  She did know our company name and address, which anyone could pull up online, and then stated she was sending this to corporate.  Terrified.  Really.  

Whatever you do, do not give these people any information about your business or give an affirmative answer to any question.  I'm not certain, but they may be trying to tack on a third party charge to your phone bill.  "Cramming" is nasty business and everyone - business and residential - should take the time to call their service provider and block third party charges.

Just got the call this morning. Asked if I wanted to auto-renew, which why would they ask if it was auto? I told her to cancel and that I never heard of them but she Insisted I had a past due payment.

Same women just called me she asked if the owner or manager was available "I replied this is he" and she said one moment please, then click....................

Just scam artists.  Don't answer the call from them.

Got this call this morning.  Asked if we wanted to renew our on-line listing.  When I said no she went on about sending a confirmation letter of the cancellation, would put us on their no-call list, send us an invoice to close the account, etc. etc.  All very fast and smooth.  (A real account rep would never have taken a No answer so quickly. They always try to talk you into renewing.)  As soon as she said $599 and kept talking quickly I called her on it.  She said I obviously knew nothing about the account and wanted to speak to my co-owner.  I told her I run the store and she'll deal with me.  She said she would call back for the co-owner and hung up.  I hate talking with thieves!.  I'm glad I found this site & learned more about these "verifying info" calls.

Scam, dont fall for this.

I just received a BILL from these people. Yellow Pages 365 Online. They are not the real yellow pages I have a contract with! Going to fight them.

The talked to me several times and had me convinced they were AT&T Yellow Pages. The bill and phone number verifies they are a scam.

This lady called me and there will be an invoice of $599 for 1 year of internet AD.
I am glad that I searched this number. This is SCAM!

scam call

2012 March 15 ~ 11:39am
A woman with a British accent just called me, to "renew" my online yellow pages ad, that I never signed up for or heard of.  She claimed that the account was opened 2 years ago and that I need to renew and that they would send me a bill. I clearly stated "I never signed up for anything.  This must be a scam.  Don't call me again.", and I hung up.  Then I Google 941-932-4045 and I found this forum.  So glad that I didn't fall for it.

Always call.  Never a message.
NO CALLS WANTED EVER.
DO NOT SELL, RENT, TRADE GIVE AWAY ETC.
Thank you.

Another Yellow Pages Online scam.
Have had calls from this on before - but from a different number.

Received a call from these folks about 6 months ago. Different phone number but same scam. Telling us it was time to renew our yellow pages online subscription (which we don't have and have never had). And that if we choose not to renew we have to pay the past due amount.
I confronted the lady right away this time, because I have already been around and around with these folks in the past. Everytime I pointed out that I knew this was a scam, she just kept on talking and asking questions like she didn't hear me. I finally just asked to be taken off their list and hung up on her.

Wow, what a joke. And while we are all smart enough to be annoyed and know better, what about the few people who may fall for this? There are prob. a few people who would be intimidated by this garbage and feel pressured or worried enough to pay it. Too bad we can't get ahold of them enough to file complaints/some type of criminal charges should be made. I had the same encounter; stating I would have never auth. such an expenditure nor did I recall having ANY contract w/ them. But, not to worry- she'll have the 'corporate' office follow-up w/ me. That actually would be really fun! I'd love for them to call me and try to further collect if only for the sport of it :)~

Please DO NOT fall for this SCAM!!!!!  They keep calling and we NEVER authorized service through them.  The key to their name is the ONLINE part.  They are Yellow Pages Online and NOT simply Yellow Pages!  Do not authorize them to send a bill for $599.  They'll sick corporate on you...So scared!!  Or as shesherre stated "collections"  what a joke.  They won't even take you off of their calling list.  And as mentioned by Trish....their # is invalid or not able to receive calls.  I don't understand how the can have outgoing calls then but at least I truly have their #!!

I checked 941.932.4045 on line after not picking up the phone. They hung up when the machine answered. They'll call back, so now I'll give them a piece when they do. After wasting their time letting them talk, I'll connected via conference call to our yellow page rep. Can't wait.

Got the "yellow pages" call as well.

Unfortunately, I fell for the "verifying information" part of the call, but when they started saying they were sending an invoice, I told them not interested and I will not pay them anything. Brit lady got nasty, saying it would go to collections. Fat chance on that - like a scammer will take legal action or start collections proceedings? On what grounds, a doctored tape from a call done between two cell phones? This is an outright scam. They are pulling information from YellowPages.com (in this case inaccurate information that has never been removed) and playing their game that way.

They used to pull this by mail, and at the bottom of the "invoice" it stated in tiny letters "Not affiliated with The Yellow Pages TM. This is not a bill." So I guess now they move to phones because so many people can READ! LOL

A woman with a British accent tried to tell me that my husbands business was going to be billed $599 for a 2 yr online yellow page listing.  I know that we did not authorize this.   She said I could view the listing online, which I tried and there is no listing for our business.  I told her that I wanted proof that this was authorized by my husband at which time she said she would forward my request to the corporate office.  That was that.  I tried to call the number back when I realized that there was, in fact, no listing online for our company.  I got a recording that said the number was out of service.

I received a call today the lady stated that she was with Yellow Pages and had provided services for 2 years and wanted to invoice me for payment.  I told her I was unaware of any services provided and that I had not authorized it.  I ask for a copy of a signed contract and that the phone call was being recorded and she hung up on me.  I tried to return the call from my caller ID, and the number is invalid.  She could call in on the number, but you cannot return the call.  This is a scam!
