Our non-profit religious charitable institution received two faxes from American Yellow Group Inc. stating we owed them $498.95 from a Facebook and Twitter account… Yet, we have never placed an order through this company… There are two invoices stating, "LAST CHANCE TO PROTECT YOUR CREDIT SCORE IN GOOD STANDING!!!"
1) Invoice with the name of the church and address
2) Invoice with a misnaming of the church and address
What should our organization do about this. We don’t owe them anything because we haven’t used the company for any advertising or anything else.

The business sent an invoice that appears fraudulent and threatening. Our company has never done business with the sender and will not pay the bill. The "invoice" demands (literally demands) payment, and threatens that the collection procedure is initiated. The "invoice" is for "Facebook and Twitter Features / 1 year directory listing. They are clearly trying to pose as the Yellow Pages. I have added several different numbers to our fax’s blocked numbers list, and yet somehow they keep contacting us.

For the past month or so, on Monday’s I receive a fax transmission from this company. In all areas, it looks and feels like a collection warning, and only upon closer inspection does it give red flags that it’s indeed a scam. The address alone is suspect. Every attempt is made to announce that our business is overdue for payment and that our facebook and twitter features will be jeapordized. We don’t have a twitter account! In looking online, we have discovered that this attempt has been listed in Missouri and Illinois, however, no record for Maine or New England states. This scammer attempted to solicit both *** *** as well as the business.

The group calling themselves "American Yellow Group" faxes an invoice stating that your account has been reffered to a debt collector in Bulgaria, address Varna 9002, P.O.

When you do a search flags from the ScamPulse.com all over the east pop up about this being a scam. Well they have now decided that since the east is no longer taking the bait, they will move on to the west.

Our company was faxed an invoice from American Yellow Group Inc. from Bulgaria Varna 9002, PO Box 83. The invoice said it was a collection warning and Pending invoice for twelve months. At the top was a logo of the walking fingers similar to the Yellow Pages. We have never done business with "American Yellow Group" and the invoice is fraudulent, states that $498.95 is payable immediately and to send a check to American Yellow Group Inc. in Bulgaria. We have never done business, spoke to or contacted "American Yellow Group" and this is a false invoice and appears to be a scam of some type directed to small business owners. At first glance, the faxed invoice appears to be from the Yellow Pages, but once you read it, you realize it is not from that company at all, but from someone who is using a very similar logo. This is a scam to get people to write out checks for a false invoice for services never requested or received. We have also reported this scam to the FTC.
