We received a phone call from someone with Regional Yellow Pages stating they were calling to confirm our cancellation request for our advertising from November 2007 and that there was a balance due of $479.95.  The owner of my company immediately picked up and asked who authorized the advertisements.  The response was that they didn't have that information and would send us to collections, then hung up on us. We looked at our records and confirmed we owe them nothing.  After a little research, we found we are not the only ones to be targeted with this scam.

Just say NO!

I also received three phone calls from this company. The first two was a voice recording saying,"We will conect you with your party." Then it hung up. I googled the phone number after the first call and found HUNDREDS of people reporting this company trying to collect four hundred and some odd dollars from them even thought they never had an account with this company. Please read the report below taken from the SPokane, WA BBB website.

Deceiving Businesses into Saying “YES”

It was brought to BBB’s attention that a questionable Yellow Pages business pitch is targeting our region whereby a rep contacts a business wishing to confirm the company’s cancellation regarding their service listing.

What’s tricky about this? Based on reports posted online as well as reports to the BBB, what these calls are attempting to do is get businesses recorded as saying “Yes” to their questions so they may turn around and hold it on you that you have instead confirmed or said “Yes” to their offer.
