We looked up YellowPages and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information
However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:
- Despite a high level of trust, our investigation found issues with YellowPages's service, including poor customer service, lack of accountability, and responsibility to resolve complaints. Customers may face long wait times for responses, receive generic or unhelpful answers or no response at all. Only 28% of 4 complaints were resolved.
- YellowPages protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

MR Plumbing rip off artist with the worst customer service ever
Mr. Plumbing is located at *** Cicero Ave, Crestwood, IL ***. Small Company. Terrible Customer Service by Staffers Tony & Mark. Never received Customer Service like this before. GOD is my witness, (3) Months went past waiting for them to do replacement of my basement restroom ceiling tile. Small washroom ceiling about 5'x5'. Understanding that things may have gotten a bit busy I called Tony after (3) Months to ask why no one had reached out to me regarding the remodel. At that time during our conversation, Tony provided a price verbally on the phone, which was way over-priced, but I agreed (No written estimate was received yet) and I told Tony "Let's do it", therefore waiting for the written estimate. Tony was the one who looked at the job to price it out in May 2022. I was told by Tony on the phone that they were too busy, but as soon as they could get someone to do this, they would reach out to set up an appointment in a couple of weeks. I asked Tony not to forget about me & Tony PROMISED he would not forget about me this time. I spoke with Mark today, 9/28/22 to advise I had not heard from Tony regarding the remodel. Mark was the nastiest, most hostile person I've spoken to in so long. Mark was very one-sided about me being stood up by Tony with no empathy at all about the situation. No professionalism at all. Very disrespectful telling me Tony wouldn't have made a promise like that to me even though Mark was not involved less long heard what I & Tony's conversation was about. Mark didn't know anything about the remodel or estimate, but he knows exactly what I & Tony's conversation was. GO FIGURE! In other words, as far as I'm concerned, I was a lie to him. Also told me I was wasting his time when I was trying to explain to him that Tony had verbally given me an estimate already. I was only trying to give Mark pertinent information to help him understand what already had taken place and what direction he needed to take with getting this whole fiasco straight mostly so that he wouldn't have to repeat what Tony already had done. Mark placed me on HOLD. I have no clue whom he spoke with but when Mark returned to the phone, his whole attitude changed even more. He indicated he couldn't find the estimate. When I disputed the fact that Tony did make that promise and Tony was supposed to forward me the estimate Mark decided he wanted to be an A-hole and couldn't engage himself professionally to discuss my concerns, offer any explanations as to what happened to the estimate, neglected to even find out why the estimate wasn't forwarded, speak with someone who may have knowledge of the estimate such as Tony himself or try to rectify the situation and move forward with getting me finally scheduled. Instead, Mark's response was to tell me when I'm ready to listen so he can talk to call him. I was appalled because I have every right to be able to discuss or question erroneous responses, he was providing me. In other words, I should speak when I'm told. I was very pleasant & polite to Mark during our conversation until Mark decided to be extremely dubious with his assumptions of Tony and I conversation and tried to talk over me when in the discussion of the issue. Who is he to make such accusations? He got the wrong one today. Short of telling Mark to stick the job requested & the whole conversation where the Sun doesn't shine, trying to remain professional in my position I politely (without cussing or name calling) let Mark know that I won't be calling him because I don't want their services any longer. I have no idea and no explanation as to why Mr. Plumbing and these 2 unpleasant and despicable human beings would want to treat a prospective customer such as myself for no reason at all the way they did. Do they think I need to spend my money with them? If they're that busy they won't need it anyway, right? Do they know what they have out here for competition? Big 5-Star Companies waiting for that chance to provide professional, competent, skillful, and trustworthy service to any customers, along with excellent Customer Service you write reviews about. Mr. Plumbing got it all twisted. I already got scheduled with a competitor, and I feel I made the better choice. Who wants to hire a Company who don't care about the Customer? I would hate to have them do an unsatisfactory job and call to complain to Customer Service as I experienced today, I wouldn't be surprised if they hung up on me. Since Mark & Tony are not aware, they should never judge a book by the cover. You never know who your prospective Customer may be. Not only am I a grown woman and neither am I Tony's or Mark's child to be spoken to as such, but I'm also a Manager for a Fortune 500 Company that handles Customer issues and if I knew I had employees who would represent my Company in such a manner, those individuals would no longer be employed with me. This Company Mr. Plumbing claims to want to venture out into other directions such as electrical, A/C, etc. but they don't have the manpower to handle its customer demands. No one should have to wait over 3 months for a ceiling tile replacement if you had the employees to do the job. I give credit where credit is due, but this company gets 0 Stars. Be cautious this company is not trustworthy. I did request the admin to speak with owner Bob Smith who was gone for the day. Let's see if he'll respond to my request. It's a small company so you know how that is I'm almost sure he won't respond to my concerns either, he needs the short staff that he has so I don't see him risk losing any of these creeps that will bring his company down by confronting their behavior. I suggest you pay real close attention to the 1,2, & 3 stars reviews this company is receiving from its customers.

The person I purchased my home through hired subs for different work I needed done on the exterior and this was one. He came out March 27th and framed, the 28th and poured a driveway and sidewalks but didn’t center my driveway as I’d requested, sealed my fresh pour the 29th without my knowledge and sealing isn’t to be done for 30 days, the 30th came back and cut lines again without my knowledge and after the 24 hour mark meaning to late and causing significant damage. They also left two rough spots on the driveway, tons of excess concrete along the edges, there are chips and gauges throughout, they used a flex board at the top of the drive leaving a wave instead of a straight line and when removing the boards that was left and I had to remove. He had ignored my attempts to communicate this horrific job, has not returned to do anything, he cashed my deposit check and final check the same day. I research him and cannot find anything and Harry Lundy from Turn Key Homes refuses to speak on it, he is as shady. I’m beside myself as the other subs are equally horrible!
Desired outcome: Full Refund

18 months ago yellow pages filed a claim to a 3rd party collections over charges that was never accepted by me with Grossman Tree Service. ALL the SERVICES that they lied about in the first place was cancelled and closed and taken care of in FULL .
I spoke to several people over the phone and had everything cancelled and paid. I owe nothing. thank
My contact details unnecessarily showing in yellow pages
I didn't upload my details but they r appearing in yellow pages as if I am selling home made wine in Hyderabad, can you please remove u name from the contact details. I am not selling any wine i never made wine
Desired outcome: My name and contact details to be removed from yellow pages
United Nations Van Lines has not delivered furniture within the parameters of their contract.
United Nations Van Lines contract implies delivery will occur no more than 17 business days following my contacting them to request delivery. I contacted them on August 30, 2021 stating that my house is ready on September 8, 2021 and I am ready to receive my furniture. Now they are saying that I requested delivery as of the 8th which I did not. Today is October 2, 2021, 24 days post contact, and United Nations Van Lines will not give me a date for delivery. They have stated that DOT allows them 30 business days, which I don't believe to be true. No where in their contract does it state that they have 30 days in accordance with DOT compliance. United Nations has failed to communicate its' intentions, and is out of compliance with the intent of their contract. They have my money, and my belongings are being held hostage.
Desired outcome: Delivery of furniture ASAP
No response from representatives for 2 1/2 months plus/cost is prohibitive for marketing return
Our company signed a contract for marketing in Yellow Pages. On 6/16/21 I emailed our rep Jan Garey asking for her to update us on our performance and answer questions. Email came back as undeliverable. Tried calling her, left her a voice mail, no response. A few weeks later I called Thryv asking what was happening and who our rep is, since we had never received any notice of who new rep was. (I looked Jan Garey up on Facebook and realized she is retired.) Left a voicemail for the new rep, Jessica Roth, but never heard back. Sent an email on July 15 to her asking for her to call me back or respond. No response. Two months later, out of the blue on 8/19/21 I get a call from Beth Engel saying she is our new rep and that she will call me back with the data and information I am looking for. She said she would call me the following Monday. NO phone call OR email. I am done. Turns out this is a lot of money for our small business with very little return. Something like 28 leads over 3 months of advertising. You are charging us an extremely high amount of money ($600+ per month) to do nothing for us. Please cancel our account immediately.
Desired outcome: Cancellation of contract
Consultation
Yellow pages representative did not communicate their terms correctly, but more importantly disclosed private information "MISTAKENLY" on my ad and did not fix. They put my personal information (home address on the internet). As I ran into issues accessing their portal and reached out to the account manager who I was working with, he told me the ad did not have to do with them (later confirmed IT DID). As a result of this mistake I had people whom I had previously had no contact orders against find my address and stalk me, now requiring me to seek police and legal help. It has now been 3 months with no resolution, I have requested to terminate my contract on several occasions of which they HAVE NOT. All while causing me the mental exhaustion dealing with the legal issues as well as unnecessary fees for now a BLANK AD as that was all they did to resolve (3 MONTHS LATER). I now have to deal with yellow pages fees in addition to all the fees to deal with the consequences of this including my therapist.
Desired outcome: return my money and terminate ads IMMEDIATELY
Bad treatment and selfishness of tembisa local taxi association executive
Tembisa Local Taxi Association Executive has turned the Association into business that benefits their pockets, discriminating its members and bullying them, they occupied all the sub ranks and collects funds from the members un announced and with force, they disrespect and abuse power. they turned the association into their private company that benefits only them and they do as they wish without complying to any constitution of the taxi industry.
Desired outcome: Can SANTACO please intervene and let the Association run as other Associations with regulations.
unauthorized credit card charges
I've been advertising via yellow pages for the last one year. Based on the contract I gave the credit card information for the billing for one year. That contract was ended in August. Since there is no changes in the volume of my business due to the advertisement and it's a financial burden, i keep calling them for more than 2-months to cancel my contract. When I phoned them today, a customer care representative (Eugine) said that my contract has been renewed automatically.
Without my consent I have no idea how they renew my contract and taking out the money using my credit card.
I would like to cancel this contract immediately. I'm not willing to renew my contract hereafter.
advertising in yellow pages
Dear sir /madam, myself Ashish Goyal prop. of magic sales corporation got cheated by yellow pages, as Your employee charged Rs. 1200 on 24/9/19, for advertising in book, but till now there is no advertisement 30/5/19, he told me, that book will be given in January with advertisement, as your Patel Nagar office also not giving my money back, please refund money as soon as possible
predatory marketing and verbal contracts
I have the same complaint regarding YP as everyone else seems to. They are a predatory company who employ tricks to get you to verbally agree to a renewing contract.
I have started a Facebook advocacy group for those burned by YP. Search FB for "Burn the Yellow Pages" to join! We have resources for reporting their fraud, legal advice, and an opt out link for the book, as nobody still needs one of these!
"Burn the Yellow Pages"
address book cover image
I received my address book and was disturbed to see the cover image. It is a photo of a local statue of Confederate General Mouton. The city of Lafayette is actually in debates with local groups on moving the statue. It is in very bad taste to choose a image that perpetuate racist ideology and brings pain to so many of Lafayette, LA citizens. Your marketing team made a horrible decision!

Unwanted Charges and Services
I started getting mail after getting repeated calls to my business... non stop calls for services. After being extremely angry at the calls and yelling that they remove me from any lists as its completely fraud and spam the bills have not stopped. I am going to treat this last bill as SPAM and will be taking extreme actions as others have also to stop this from happening to other businesses.

The first of May 2017 I decided with the "help" of Ryan Womack to advertise with Yellow pages. He assured me that my website was going to be wonderful and that the 80.00 per month was going to be well worth it. I received the first website proof and it look ridiculous! It was so bad that even Ryan said that it was bad the second was more of the same. At one point he even told me that he was working on it himself because it looked so amature.
2 months go by and after still not receiving a final approved website I tell Ryan just cancel everything and that I wasn't going to do business with YP and that it was a waste of time. Ryan came back with "my manager and I listened to the recordings and you agreed to the one year contract".
I received an email from the website department weeks later saying "here's your website" and the new web address. Not only was the website more of the same, but I never even approved the new website address. I emailed back and told them that I never approved any of this and to remove it immediately. I then get an email saying contact Ryan to cancel the website.
So now I have made several payments for a website that was never approved or finished and they won't cancel it even though the job was never done.
Obviously I do not need to add correspondence regarding this since Ryan let me know that under no circumstances will I not be able to end my contract because he has a recording of it and of course the contract I signed. Which I never received a copy of.
Hi - We're sorry to hear of this matter and would like to look into it for you. If you could, please reply here or via email at Social@dexmedia.com providing your business name/address, and a preferred contact number for follow up. Thank you, Ed.
Ed,
Thank you for commenting and stating you would look into this, but unfortunately I have tried several times to get this contract cancelled without any success. I either get "I'm sorry I will look into this" and either do not get a response back or "You're in a contract". I have lost all faith in the business practices of the yellow pages.

Hi Trina - I hate to hear that's been the experience and that customer service expectations weren't met. I've passed your information to our Client Care team for follow up. This matter will be revisited to see if we can try to work toward a resolution. Thanks, Ed!
