Our company has no working relationship with Golden Yellow Directories, Inc. We received three invoices by fax stating we owe $498.95 for advertising. No where on the paperwork does it state this is a solicitation. It is an invoice stating payable within 30 days. This is a scam looking for payment.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
Received a fax from a company that seemed to be Yellowpages. At first, I believed it to be real because we do advertise in Yellowpages and the amount for the yearly listing was the same amount as the real deal. But The company name threw me off so I Googled it and this company is not a Better Busines Bureau company and they have an F rating. Really bad reviews all stating how this is a scam. I am not paying this invoice and I reported it to Yellowpages.

We received a fax of an invoice for a little over $498. We ordered nothing, nor spoke to anyone from this company. This is not the first time we’ve had to deal with alleged scams. Annoying, to say the least.

Received a faxed invoice from Golden Yellow Directories, Inc. for $498.95, payable within 30 days for a Directory Listing that we did not order. Invoice does not state that it is a Solicitation for services, and some of the text sounds funny. For example: Keep active your account, and Show up higher than neighbor nurses businesses.

We received an fake invoice by fax stating that we owned $498.95 on Invoice 459379. Payment is due within 30 days. Nowhere on this fake invoice does it state that we do not owe the amount stated, as often appears on fake invoices like this. When I called the toll-free phone number and connect to "customer service", I got a message (as expected) that they were busy with other customers and for me to leave a message. I left a message stating that I was going to file a complaint about receiving a fake invoice, but never received a call-back. Not that I really expected a call-back.
These scammers should be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

Just received a fax from Golden Yellow Directories Inc. Has the yellow pages logo on the sheet. Had to really take a good look at it to realize it was a scam. Our address is totally wrong, and the actual yellow pages would know that as we still do business with them.

Our office continually receives faxes from this company, most recently May 29, 2018 and June 11, 2018. Faxes appear to be an invoice "PAYABLE WITHIN 30 DAYS", including invoice number, Order ID number, "PAY THIS AMOUNT NOW: $498.95" for Yellow Pages directory listing for 1 year. We don’t know if this is a scam to get companies to pay the invoice for service that does not exist or if this is a scheme to get the companies to pay the invoice for service not requested/desired. We have not requested nor solicited their services. We followed the instructions at the bottom of the page to opt out of future faxes and will monitor if we continue to receive them.

Received what looked like a legit bill from a company that has the familiar "fingers walking" logo. They call themselves "Golden Yellow Directories". (NOT Yellow Pages) They requested $498.95 for "1 year directory listing including digital features". At the bottom of the "bill" is an "opportunity" to extend the service by a year for $297 dollars more. This scam has been circulating since 2016, but is, according to Google, making a resurgence in 2018.

Received invoice for listing that was not ordered. $498.95
Type of a scam Yellow Pages/Directories
Received a fax invoice from the Yellowpages for a total balance of $498.95 An inquiry number was listed, a reference number, an order number and a customer ID number as well. Upon investigation with the other employees, we have discovered that no one has authorized (no one has the authority to do so other than the designated employees) for such purchase to be made. A phone number was provided 1-800-909-4348 this is neither of the 4 other numbers that were issued. When we push #3 for billing department a prompt comes on the line that "We are experiencing a high volume of calls all of our representatives are trying to help other customers at the moment. Please leave us a message and we will return your call shortly"
Research has been done online and it was found that there has been an ongoing scam pertaining to the Yellowpages. Included were information about how they fake an authorization (recording your conversation and asking yes or no questions in regards to a free listing) and switching around the conversation using your recorded "yes" for the authorization. Faxing an invoice to better disguise where the invoice is coming from, so it is not traceable. Third stage is imitating a collections agency and making harassing calls if no payment has been made. A message has been left for the billing department 2X and no return call has been made.
