1YELLOWPAGE1 IS A SCAM!!!

I was contacted during the summer of 2009 when I was an independent health insurance agent.  Anyone who knows this industry is aware that any advertising source is just one more possibility to get badly needed income.  One day, this company calls saying they have a unique advertising method that should provide great results.  I sit down with one of their sales people.  Though the price tag was ridiculous ($6000 for a square on a page!), it was supposed to reach "thousands of home owners".  Mathematically, reaching even a small percentage of that market would have paid for this advertising method.  So I signed up.

STUPID.

Months later, the delivery of their product was late.  Excuse after excuse.  Once it was finally delivered, I kept hitting the streets as usual hoping for a random call from this source.  Nothing.  Waited a couple months later because "these things take time" (says the owner, Danny).  Still nothing.  Winter of 2009, I'm getting called by one of his employees trying to get me to finish paying up for something that doesn't work.  She has bark, but no bite.  (I know she's just doing her job, so I won't pick on her.)  She backs down when I explain that less than 5% of the other clients for this thing ever got a single phone call (I called them myself), we had no proof that they actually delivered where and when they said they would, and paying a ton of money for something that evidently doesn't work would be signs of mental instability.  She understood, sent me the delivery metrics, and now they're not only hounding me about "are you satisfied?", but they also sent me to collections.

IF YOU ARE EVER CONTACTED BY THIS AGENCY OR ANY OTHER ADVERTISING FIRM THAT OFFERS TO DELIVER A LAMINATED ADVERTISING PLACARD, RUN AWAY.  Their site claims on their "Why US?" page that "Our page is not going to the recycle bin".  If I find clients that received this cold-delivery product and threw it out, their contract with us is toast, and the other screwed clients should get their money back.

Rebuttals are welcome.  Remember - I called the remainder of the people that also fell for this scam.  I got a resounding "no calls" from almost all of these hard working folks.  STAY AWAY FROM 1YELLOWPAGE1!!!
