Out of the blue, I get these bills with for "Yellow Pages Directory" for web advertisement from 2 separate places at the same time, one from
Louisville, KY and another from Niagara Falls, NY with exact same amount with same date of start of the advertisement. Not only did I not have any idea what these were, I never gave anyone permission to advertise my business. In fact, I hang up on any solicitors. I had the same thing happened to me a few years ago and I want to make sure this crooks don’t get away with this.

I got this bogus bill for "Yellow Page Directory" from 1342 Military Road # 2754, Niagara Falls, NY. 14304 for web advertisement, which I was not aware of and never gave permission for. I called the number on the fake invoice and all I get is "there is no one to help you at the moment. Please try later". I have had the same happen to me a few years ago and I am not about to let these [censored] get away with this. I am also filing a complaint against them with Federal Trade Commission.

We received a bill in the mail for false directory advertisement that was never authorized by anyone in our company. They have our address but incorrect telephone number and incorrect business type. They are charging us $***. I tried calling several times but my call keeps going to a voicemail box and no one ever returns my call.

We received an invoice that stated we purchased 2 yr bold listing for 498.87 on june 14, 2018. They don’t even use our complete business name. There is no contact name, only a phone number ( that goes right to customer service messages ), and a fax number that doesn’t accept faxes.

Received an invoice for a BOLD Directory listing in the amount of $497.86 on 7/12/18 via USPS dated 5/31/18 for services beginning 5/1/18 that were never initiated.
Called the number and left a voicemail to express my dissatisfaction in a company that would attempt to solicit payments from unsuspecting business owners in this way.
Immediately verified it was a scam and oddly/coincidentally enough received two back-to-back calls from a Canadian land line 416-398-1418. Unable to tell if related by searching online, but extremely suspicious…

I was self-employed but am retired now. This service wasn’t requested. I get this bill once a year which started long after my retirement. I have never paid it yet the amount due always remains the same. I have called them multiple times yet every department I reach claims to be “unavailable to take your call”. It feels like a scam and I fear some folks may actually be paying for a fake service.

Received a fake invoice stating our company had agreed to using this company on 6/1/2017. The invoice was for $494.87 and says due by 7/1/2017. As I am the only person who handles advertising for our company I automatically began to investigate who the company was. There are 10 different businesses listed with their address,but ironically Yellow Pages Directory is NOT listed. SCAM SCAM SCAM….please everyone check into any of these "types" of invoices as it’s becoming MUCH more common for these people to be targeting small businesses.

Received fake invoice for directory listing with fictitious account number and invoice number. Our business has never had any dealings with this directory publisher or any other directory publisher. When a phone contact was tried at the listed number, it answers as customer service and then a recording comes up after a while to state that " Leave a message for callback" and that is never followed up. The letter itself does not say about solicitation or advertisement.

Received a bill for $488.86. I had called this company a few years ago to inquire about how our office had a bill with this company we do not use, only to find out it was an advertisement. The statement we just got is complete with an account number (although we’ve never used this company), a due date, and an invoice number. There is no way to understand this is an advertisement.

We are a business that received a fax that said we needed to update our information on our business addresses and telephone was incorrect. They then sent us invoices saying we owed them $1,200 to advertise which we do not want to and were never informed of this. They call constantly and are threatening us. They didn’t even have the correct farm name.

It’s a Invoice asking for payment for a listing that was not authorized. Tried calling them several times but it goes to voicemail stating "Customer Service". The voicemail doesn’t even address a company know or who they are. Just says "Thank you for calling Customer Service." Nice and vague.
