Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
A phone call was made to my office summer help (college student earning money for college) that was quite misleading. Basically verifying the order could be shipped.

This student working in the office (Kyle) was not allowed to authorize purchases, but they still went through with the transaction.

Now they have sent an invoice for 369.95 plus 19.95 shipping. We have not received the Business Listing CD, and do not plan on paying the invoice. They did offer a 25% discount, but I refused. I spoke with Oscar, who put me on hold to "receive permission" for the discount, but when I asked to speak to his supervisor, he refused.

Do I need to get a lawyer involved . . . ?

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 http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/ 50 Victoria Street Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0C9 [email protected] (819) 997-4282 Toll free: 1-800-348-5358 TDD (hearing impaired): 1-800-642-3844 Fax (819) 997-0324

(((ROR REDACTED DUE TO INSULTING CONTENT))) You're RIGHT, the owners don't tolerate garbage, garbage from employees that is, they never have and never will, they focus too much of their time on trying to produce a high quality product. THANK YOU for this opportunity to express myself, as it is quite frustrating to keep hearing that Mayrand is a scam when infact they are a legitamate company and have done nothing worng, they get complaints like every other company out there: ....

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, liars 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 ask if i was authorized etc....i would have cut the call off from the beginning as I would never accept an order on behalf of the company. We give the utmost quality product, especially in comparison to those 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. SIGNED A very fed up employee
