Received a Proposal for business listing service, had this number listed on the form

Your Yellow Book is a scam.  They sent us a Fax with a proposal and the number listed goes to a full Verizon message system.

Clever enough, I suppose.  Perhaps some poor souls will actually cut this group a check, or take collection efforts seriously.  Sounds legitimate enough, right?  Anyway, tracing of the phone number reveals it belongs to Brandie Law in Guthrie OK.  Hardly the "Your Yellow Book" sales office, and likely someone my state's Attorney General might be interested in getting to know.  Think I might need to see if I can introduce the two, not to mention how much I adore getting this garbage on my fax machine...

Received the fax today. The FTC knows this as a Business Directory Scam. Ive been dealing with one called A1 Business Directory for a while now. See blog.timothylux.com/2010/04/scam-alert-a1accessdirectorycom.html for a full background.

I just received a fax from this company. It was a proposal for a listing. I have never heard of this company before so I did some research, and when the name did not come up, I searched the number. I found this website with everyone’s posts about this company. Fortunately I research things and my company is relatively large that this would get flagged in our accounting department, but as for other businesses they may not be so lucky. I hope more people become aware of this.
