montreal, QuebecOur high school, East Side Union, got ripped off by these guys... three brothers - last name Frank.
They have two facilities I found: 5250 decarie and 1255 university, both in Montreal. They use 100 walnut street and 5 Cotton lane, both in Champlain NY as bogus mailing addresses.

It's the Same Scam as World Wide Source, IT Data Direct and American Solutions Information
They call you up and try to 'renew' a listing that you never ordered in the first place. Here is the scam in detail:
Infotel Publications is one of the largest scam companies I have ever experienced in my 27 years of working in the business world. They contact companies and ask to verify name, company & address. They tape you answering 'yes' to questions and before you know it---you've been scammed. An unsuspecting company in the shipping/receiving dept. will soon receive a large 3 1/2' business directory (which they did not order) followed by an invoice. Now as most companies get large orders via UPS, they get a signature that you received their directory. Check them out with the Better Business Bureau and see their credit report. Go to www.UpstateNYbbb.org. Search under Infotel Publications with the Montreal, Quebec address. You are not alone in this nightmare.

VERICOM aka INFOTEL aka INFOTEL PUBLICATIONS aka MEDIACORP
INFOTEL now called VERICOM/ MEDIACORP is a TELEMARKETING SCAM. They do sell a product, however, it is worthless. (A NATIONAL directory for the whole USA or UK)
1) You are fooled by Vericom/Mediacorp Sales, ?We are calling to UPDATE your CURRENT listing.? CURRENT? You never had it before.
2) You are fooled when the shipping department calls you with a fast talking telemarketer verifying your address and quoting the price.
3) You think you have to pay after hearing the Recorded conversation of the above call.
4) You are fooled the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time etc. These are referred to as LOADS and are ILLEGAL in Canadian telemarketing. Some companies just pay and pay forever until someone smart realizes they don't need the worthless directory.
Vericom/Mediacorp can only be stopped by complaints to your State Attorney General and to the State Attorney General of upstate New York where Vericom/Mediacorp collects its mail and ships out their directories. This closes the State to Vericom/Mediacorp. A few states are already closed for them.

Imagine them still operating while hurricane Katrina hit, all information is lost while the FRANKS collect on helpless victims.
The Kaddish Prayer for the Franks.
Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

>>>>> VERICOM BUSINESS DIRECTORIES <<<<< is the new working name for the Frank Family Business Directory SCAM
>>>>> VERICOM BUSINESS DIRECTORIES <<<<< is the new working name for the Frank Family Business Directory Scam, formally VERICOM aka VERICOM DIRECTORIES aka INFOTEL aka INFOTEL PUBLICATIONS aka INFOTEL DIRECTORIES aka MEDIACORP.
The 'Directory of American Business' by Mediacorp is the US Publication.
The 'British Business Directory' by Vericom is the UK Publication.
The FRANK FAMILY continues to use the Business Directory Scam in the US and UK.
It's not our fault your US companies are stupid
Look at the facts: There are roughly 200,000 businesses listed in the directories. So, it's conceivable that the 'previously listed' companies being called have at one time been in the directory.
As for 'currently listed', this refers to companies that have not been previously listed, but will be listed when the directories are updated. These are usually new companies.
The way I see it, there is no lie, unless the salesperson says we are the white and yellow pages.
As for the directories themselves, yes they are pretty useless. But, if someone is stupid enough to buy it, it's not our fault. Quit complaining. At least we don't argue with people who say no to the directory.

The FRANKS and their 'VERICOM BUSINESS DIRECTORY SCAM'
“It's not our fault your US companies are stupid"
US companies are not stupid, they are caught “busy" by clever Telemarketing Scammers.
The Frank Family, now that is a stupid bunch, because while they are stealing from US companies, their employees are always stealing from them!
I would be worried if I were a member of the Frank Family. The Canadian Competition knows them and the Internet knows them, where can they hide?
“Look at the facts: There are roughly 200,000 businesses listed in the directories. So, it's conceivable that the 'previously listed' companies being called have at one time been in the directory."
The Frank Family in Montreal is Chronic Liars and so stupid they get everything done by someone else, why, Think!
The above quote is a lie. Vericom aka Infotel Publications aka Infotel Directories aka Mediacorp ALWAYS calls “NEW LEADS", that is “NEW SUCKERS*" so previously listed companies are only called if they Paid the First time around. If they don't pay or don't renew they remain in the directory even if they move or have closed. This can be proven by calling several entries. Customers/suckers who get caught often don't pay because they call up there competitors and find they were scammed and never paid or don't exist.
Gordon Frank of the Frank Family started Infotel Publications on Decarie which is now called Vericom about 13 years ago. He worked for a Scam business Directory Company prior to that and decided to open his own. He was a middle class guy with a rusted car. The first directories were made with names taken out of other legitimate directories. The generic pitch “It's the American Business to Business Directory" is used by all Telemarketing Scams. “US" is also used in place of “American."
“As for 'currently listed', this refers to companies that have not been previously listed, but will be listed when the directories are updated. These are usually new companies."
“Currently listed" is a con used ONLY when the customer asks “Were we previously listed? Or were we in this before? The customer asking this is not in the position to buy so he/she is not stupid but rather curious if it's just something they always take. Since he/she is busy at the time of these scam calls it's hard to manage work and the Scammer.
“The way I see it, there is no lie, unless the salesperson says we are the white and yellow pages."
Of course when the customer asks “Is it the white and yellow pages"?
The sales people say “It's the white and yellow business to business pages.
“As for the directories themselves, yes they are pretty useless. But, if someone is stupid enough to buy it, it's not our fault. Quit complaining. At least we don't argue with people who say no to the directory."
Isn't scamming someone by trickery, word manipulation etc. to buy a useless directory a Lie.
The USA is bombarded by Montreal Canada Telemarketing selling useless directories. The result is.
Employees loose jobs or are reprimanded for agreeing to buy. This may lead to Violence. . Small businesses get chocked to extinction. The Business info structure is being disturbed to make The Frank Family Millionaires.
You don't have to worry anymore...
The Buchan location of the company has closed down. The other locations are probably closing down as well.
