Blue Yellow Book Services renderd without my knowledge or permission then billed me a year later Aventura Florida
Blue Yellow Book has billed me $698 for running an ad or internet information of some kind for a year without my knowledge or permission.
When they called to "verify my address and that I am an authorized agent" I asked what for, and the guy said he was from the Blue Yellow Book and needed to send an invoice for a years service I said "what service?" and thats when they began their deceptive recording practices apparently designed to make it appear I have authorized this service when all I did was confirm that it is my business and addrress, I figured it's public knowledge anyway and it was supossedly the only way I could get them to stop providing this service I never asked for. He gave me a number to a department he said would help me and an a "termination number". The number was actually an accounts payable department that refused to discuss anything but my method of payment, her name is Nancy Moore and only does one thing-collect money!
I tried to disscuss my situation and she said I was wasting her time, "will that be a credit card or phone check" I asked to speak with someone else like a supervisor or something and she said no, she's it and asked if I was ready to pay or end the conversation and be turned into collections.
Everyone in this organization knows what they are doing and chances are you won't accomplish anything. They must be operating under some sort of loop hole that hasn't cought up to internet scheems. I am refusing to pay and they refuse to stop their service until I do. I have worked hard all my life to have some crooks hold my credit hostage.
I would gladly join any class action law suite or action of any kind

Yellowbluebook clears invoice
#4Author of original report
Sun, September 07, 2008
After contacting rip off report, the Attorney General and a certified cease and disist letter. Yellowbluebook has decided to return my calls and tell me that I recieved the invoice in error and that my company was misclassified their data banks and has directed me to disregard the invoice. Although I am satisfied with the outcome, I still belive their attempt to extort me was real due to the way they recorded me saying my company name and that I was the authurized person for my company using a promise to remove me from their services to force my participation in an attempt to get me to verify responsibilty for the fraudulant invoice and strong arm attempts to collect the money while refusing to allow me to talk with any other personell regarding my bill or any other details regarding their "services" only after the Attorney General contacted them did I get a response.

Posted about this before. Get those phone calls all the time. They call to verify your address or your telephone number or your "listing information" for your "free" listing on/in: THEIR yellow pages or on Their web site or wherever the heck else they can think of. USUALLY it's someone speaking is some foreign accent. USUALLY they don't have a listing on the caller ID. It's ALL a scam. As soon as I hear who or what it is, I say no thank you and hang up. You have to be careful what you say because if you start answering questions, yes or no or whatever, they have been known to SPICE the answers onto recordings, so that it seems like you agreed to their pitch and agreed to a contract and they have you on a recording doing so. JUST HANG UP. Same thing goes when you receive those BS offers in the mail for YOUR FREE LISTING. Just shreed them.

DO NOT ever pay this invoice

DO NOT under any circumstances pay this invoice. They can do nothing to you, but harrass you on the phone. Be careful in sending them any correspondence or they will take your signature and put it on a bogus contract. The next time someone calls to verify your address hang up unless it is a customer coming to your shop. When they call to verify my address I tell them I have been at the same address for 40 years and nothing has changed and that is all they need to know, then I hang up before they can reply to this. You will know when people call they usually state that they are with so and so and need to verify your information.
This happened to the company I am working for now. The manager before me was paying for a bogus lising on the internet that came with a business to business CD to all business that subscribe. I work for an auto repair shop in Texas and don't care if a business out of state has my company information, not like I would get any business from this CD. When I started to receive the invoice for this crap I did a google search and this is how I found Rip off Report web site.
I wrote the Attorney General in my state, the state the invoice came from the better business bureau and can't remember all I complained to. The state the original invoice came from ran them out I think they had a lawsuit or something. I finally found out this company (NBIE or now known as YourCompanyListing.com) was actually located in Canada. I had to fight all the time on the phone with them. I requested them to send all correspondence thru the mail, they refused knowing it was mail fraud, they would only send faxes. When I requested a signed contract they stated they didn't have one then a few days later they faxed one signed by the manager before me. They had forged the signature from one of the checks the fool before me was paying them with. They would threaten me with all kinds of things like having to recall the CD and it would cost me $70,000.00 or more. I wrote them and told them I would only recogonize a Texas court of law. They called me and got really rude at that time can't believe the names and words that came out of the owners mouth. It seams that everyone that called me from the company had a common first and last name like Jones, or Smith. They would call and Peter would say we need you to talk to our Attorney Bob Johnson, Bob got on phone he sounded just like Peter, I would say Bob you sound just like Peter. It was like a stupid game everytime they called. They would do this all time. It took me almost 2 years of them calling and harassing me before they quit. I think this was after I filed a complaint with the the Canadian authorities, the Competion Bureau in Canada. I haven't heard from them since 6-9-2007. I have a folder almost 2 inches thick. I refused to give up on the principal of the thing. I hate to think of how many people they continue to rip off.
Sorry I went off on my experience of a rip off, but I just wanted to let you know what I had to deal with, it was a hassle but after a while I made a game of it, to see how much I could piss them off. After almost 2 years I finally got bored and when they called and said this is so and so from YourCompanyListing.com I would not say a word and hang up. Sometimes they would call right back several times.
I never did pay the invoice and the last time I looked they still have my company listed on their web site, even after I requested they remove it, because I wasn't going to pay.
Do NOT I repeat DO NOT pay this invoice ignore them. If you do pay it to try to make them go away it won't happen they will continue their rip off. They will also sell your information to other rip off companies that will do the same thing. Find out as much information as possible about them and start writing letters. This company harassing you can only do that and they know it. I'm sure if you do a little research you will find out they have many complaints against them.
Good luck.
