Seem Like the more SPG CONSULTANTS moves forward, we are uncovering a dirty little secret that no one wants to stand up and fight against. Telemarketing Fraud
it seems that every state we go to and every other business has had one of those calls
Hello... We would like to verify your companies Listing Online
Are you still At ___________________ now this is where the telemarketing companies get tricky they ask you a series of question knowing full well you going to say yes to like the address city and zip ... as soon as you reply to any of their questions you've been trapped
the conversation is the taken to the verification department, the verification will then call you back and see if they can legitimately get you to to commit to a listing but try to remind you of the first conversation you have with the previous sales agent where you were told it was for a 4 or even 5 year listing online for 500.00$. sounds great 500$ for a 4 year listing online ..but don't be fooled even though you were reminded the verification department will only say for your ONE YEAR listing online will be invoiced to your attention ..now if you agree you've been SCAMMED .. in about 35 day you'll receive a invoice for the 500.00$ and it will be already past due and a will following the invoice here comes the calls from the collection department.
Now here is where the Company get Slick... if they get through the full script of the verification and you turned them down and said NO..
Well that's too bad. Why? you ask. Cause they have the recording of you saying yes to all the other questions from the earlier call and all they have to do is now put your voice saying yes over the part where you said no.
Now I won't go into detail about how much money my client have lost and I won't go on on about why its taking the government over 20 year to stop this type of fraud
all i can say is Yes There is help out there and yes someone does care about you and your business.

THAT'S RIGHT THE LIST IS THIS LONG
Mass Marketing Fraud is defined as fraud committed via mass communication media using the telephone, mail, and the Internet. Provisions under the criminal regime of the Competition Act prohibit all materially false or misleading representations made YellowPages.com
Yellowpages.com is an internet advertising portal that alleges to increase the clients internet exposure to searchers looking for the product or service that you provide in a given geographic area. The business practices of yellowpages.com are questionable at best and are possibly criminal. Their actual exposure is limited.
Their advertising graphics are amateur. Their results are insignificant to non-existent. All in all, this is a boiler-room operation that uses high-pressure sales tactics promising unrealistic returns, tying clients to heavy-handed contracts followed by harassing phone calls and collection procedures.
The fact that the local, state, and federal regulators have allowed this type of immoral operation to continue, should not deter the scammed business owner from fighting these criminals.
knowingly or recklessly, deceptive telemarketing and deceptive prize notices.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I get phone calls every day, sometimes 3 times a day and I am getting so fed up with them! They all say they just want to update our companies online, local listing and try and verify information they already have. When I tell them I am not interested and that I would no longer like to receive phone calls, they interrupt and get incredibly pushy and demanding.
I advertise with YellowPages.com (part of AT&T) and mistakenly paid a bill / advertisement to Yellow Pages USA. When I received a renewal notice from Yellow Pages USA a year later (February 22, 2010) I did not pay it because at that time I realized that this was a different company (ie. It was not Yellow Pages Com). Then on May 6, 2010 I received a collection notice from Revenue Assurance Partners (19399 Helenberg Rd., Suite 5 & 6, Covington, LA 70433). I called them and explained the problem. They said when they will proceed with collection. I tried to call Yellow Pages USA but get only an answering machine. Yet another example of fraud using the Yellow Pages name and walking fingers logo.
YES IT IS A SCAM...DO NOT PAY...HANG UP...CALL YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL!
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID BY CC, CALL AND REVERSE PAYMENT.
IF YOU ARE BEING HARASSED, CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE WITH A COMPLAINT. THE LOCAL POLICE WILL CALL THESE GUYS.
ACCREDITED COLLECTION AGENCY IS IN ON THE SCAM, THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO YOUR CREDIT.
ALL MONEY MADE BY RYPO IS SENT BACK TO PAKISTAN TO FUEL THE AL-QAEDA.

Regional Yellow Pages Online - Script
May I speak with the Office Manager please. . .
Hi, my name is - -. I am calling with the Regional Yellow Pages. I am calling regarding your request that you made about three months ago, that you want to remove your listings from our database and cancel all your future listings. Is that correct?
YES/NO
Yes = Closer. No = Opener
An opener means you do not want to cancel and will be charged the $479.95. This rarely happens so it will be mostly a Closer.
Closer
Alright - What I will do today is that l will close your account and provide you with a cancellation file # and also, we will send you a Letter of Closure stating that the account is permanently closed with us, which means that we will not be contacting you for any renewals or updates, and we will also put it on our do-not- call, do-not-renew list, OK.
Since the listings were started in - - they will expire in - - and will be purged from our database.
You will also receive the balance of the invoice, which is $ 479.95 and the invoice will be marked FINAL on it.
Do you use purchase order numbers down there or should we just mail this invoice to your attention?
Alright, and the address we have on file is - - OK and your name is- - ? And position - - . Are you authorized to approve and accept this Final Invoice for your Company? (Must be Yes)
OK someone from my Quality Control Department will give you a call later on today and will confirm the mailing address and provide you with your file number.
Anything else I can do for you today?
Thanks for your time and business, and have a great day.
