National Business Publishing Corp. 13B National Hotel-Motel Guide, This company is a scam. They say we owe a bogus bill for advertising for $800 and fax us constantly. Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

This company started off as just a fax to advertise with their hotel/motel guide.  I faxed them back stating we would like to be removed from their fax list.  The faxes kept coming and we recently received a bill for $800.  The invoice indicated the $800 was for advertising our motel in their guide.  Of course we never authorized anyone to advertise.  We only advertise on our website or locally.  And, we NEVER give authorization for ANY business transaction over the phone/fax.  All our authorizations require our signature here and then are mailed to the main office where the second signature is required.

Just as the previous Rif-off Report stated, I knew immediately this was a scam.  There is no phone number; no removal number; located in Canada; no real "person" I could contact.

I filed a complaint with the BBB.  They, in turn, sent my complain to the BBB of Canada.  Nothing was done but they suggested I launch my own campaign to let people know this company is a rip-off.  So, that's why I'm here.  Not only am I trying to spread the word, I also take all 18 copies of the faxes from the BBB, the BBB of Canada and The National Business Publishing Corp and fax it to them over and over and over, again.  I figure it costs them everytime I fax to their 800 number plus the cost of ink and paper.  I fax them on average approximately 20 to 30 times a day.  It may not cost much each time but, eventually, it should add up.
