Read about it here http://800notes.com/articles/Article.aspx/LFRVNXyqwQBNrAjLF8wQyg Free Listing at Yellow Pages: This scam targets businesses. The caller says that he is from Yellow Pages and is calling to update their records. He proceeds by asking to confirm some basic information such as owner's name, business phone number, address, and company name. Then they start billing the victim and only then the business owner realizes that it's not a free listing and it was not Yellow Pages directory that called. The victims report that when they call to complain, the company plays the recorded conversation with the victim saying 'Yes' except that the caller is reading from a completely different script. The scammers replace one side of the conversation, making it sound as if the business owner agreed to a paid listing and a monthly fee.
