I am a Electrical technician for an Interlock service provider. I was contacted around mid november of 2005 by these people asking to confirm our business address. I made the mistake of assuming the call was from a DUI driving school wanting to send customers to our shop for Interlocks. I confirmed that the address was correct and then received a followup call from the companies so-called "Quality Assurance" wanting to verify my address again.
Come december 22nd of 2005 I received a bill from this company in my business mail saying I owe them $409.90. One red flag flew up when I saw the postage date, it was exactly 14 days past the date on the invoice, which was exactly how much time they said I had to close my company's alleged account.
I have been contacted by them several times since and have refused to give them any details as to what corperate headquarters is planning on doing. These people are trying to make a living using deceptive marketing techniques and by harrassing clients they claim to have.

A response to the employee of the Mayrand Publishers SCAM
AUTHOR: Former Employee - (Canada)

Hello Patricia,
So you think it is ok to call hard working people in the workplace who have no authorization to buy a business to business white page directory that lists the entire United States in it?
A directory that lists people, then asks them to pay after a very deceptive phone call?
A directory that NEVER updates its listings since it's only a Scam for JEFFREY SHOLZBERG, a scam artist who lives off of its profits?
A directory not recognized by any library in the US?
Mayrand Publishers is a Telemarketing SCAM and your reaction is because it's getting harder for you to collect and make the commission from you boss.
Mayrand Publishers sells a product which by its very nature is useless. How did they brainwash you? Is it the money or can't you get decent work or speak French.
You know what JEFFREY SHOLZBERG is, don't you?
Report him to the Canadian Competition Bureau because you are upsetting many a good person. If he gets prosecuted, you will receive a hefty reward, call them to see.
You know you HATE him like all his employees do! He just pays good money, other than that, he is another parasite our world doesn't need.
Change your job and REPORT him and the Mayrand Publishers SCAM

#3 UPDATE Employee
MAYRAND HAS PRIDE IN ITS CLIENTS
AUTHOR: Patricia - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 12, 2006
This is in reply to the EX-employee who evidently must have quit or been fired for misrepresenting the company and that is why they are making accusations against Mayrand Publishers.
People come and go from companies all the time and Mayrand Publishers does NOT tolerate and misbehavior, misrepresentation or people that are in the business for a quick buck.
I have been with the company long enough to know that they have done nothing wrong, similar to Sears/Wal-Mart every company will have complaints, but the simplicity of it is this:
IF someone were to call my business and ask me to confirm an order and ask my position and state the price AND ask if I was authorized etc.I would have cut the call off from the beginning IF IT WAS NOT SOMETHING that I ORDERED in the first place.
BUT MAYRAND follows all the necessary steps to ensure that we ask several questions to the clients prior to sending out any bill or package AND OUR RETURN POLICY is indicated on ALL BILLINGS.
We give the utmost quality product, especially in comparison to other companies out there that do not even send any products.
We thrive on customer satisfaction and have not just one business directory, but many volumes with updated information that we pay alot of money for and it is insulting to here that a miserable ex-employee can only refer to the company as a scam, when it was probably them that was scamming the clients and that is most probably why they no longer work here. I work for fair bosses that are very serious about their work and in providing quality information and products.

MAYRAND PUBLISHERS Business Directory Scam
AUTHOR: Former Employee - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 26, 2006
MAYRAND PUBLISHERS is still in business scamming Americans.
How you get Caught:
SALES CALLS:
You get called with a telemarketer saying "I'm calling to update your listing in the Business to Business White Pages.
They go over your details, you reply YES, YES YES.
QUALITY CONTROL:
You get called again to confirm the details for shipping it out. The price is mentioned but in digits. Never is the word hundred is used. This is done very quickly so it sounds like a few dollars. They ask you if you are authorized to make the purchase. This is Taped. Tapes can be altered!
The Directory or CD-Rom Arrives. Later a invoice arrives.
What do you do?
Call or Write your Attorney General immediatly without telling them and throw the Directory or CD-Rom in the Garbage.
Your in the Clear and have helped others in your State.
STOP THEM NOW!

MAYRAND INC. aka MAYRAND PUBLISHING aka MAYRAND PUBLISHERS, They operate in Montreal Canada
AUTHOR: Former Employee - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 17, 2006
I worked for this company. They operate in Montreal Canada. The key contact is LINDA WILLIAMS; they use their real names telling employees they are legit. They target small businesses. The product is a Hardcover book, a CD-Rom or a web listing or all. It was established in 2001. They call you to update your information then get you a second time on tape agreeing to a price. The word HUNDRED is never used so you get caught. THEY ARE A SCAM. They are also diversifying into other scams.
NOTE: THE COMPANY HAS CHANGED THEIR NAME (THIS PREVENTS HITS ON THE INTERNET) JEFFREY SHOLZBERG IS IN ALL SORTS OF SCAMS. Phone: 514-487-0404 Call him at home
