Fast-speaking, thick-accented man called asking for our company owner by name.  I guessed it was some kind of cold sales call, so I put the guy on hold for a bit, and then told him that Mr.___ was not available, to which he replied, something like... "I am calling to let Mr.___ know the directory service he asked to cancel is not cancellable; and we need information to renew the billing, so you can help me.. ."  I had heard of this SCAM before, so I asked for the company name - he muttered something so fast I couldn't understand, and proceeded to try to talk over me while I was telling him that I knew this call was bogus scam ... I eventually yelled several times into the phone, "DO NOT CALL HERE AGAIN!" and hung up on him.  I *HATE* a**sholes like this.

I have learned to be very nice and screw with these people.  It is very fun to drive them crazy.  You know who you owe money to.  The second you get a phone call about money, you know they are trying to screw you.  If you want this to stop, SCREW with them and this sales method will go away.  The employees that do this work only are paid for a sale.  Keep them on the phone as long as possible

Have Fun

I was just called by someone calling herself Lora Davis. Was very rude and threatened to turn me over to collections.

Pretty much the same - rude lady telling me i have to play along with her script or my "listing" will cost a lot more than it's already costing me.  Never signed up for any listing, and after repeated attempts to get her name and company info to report it, her telling me nothing but how rude i am, i hung up.  These people should be prosecuted!

My turn was today!!!  When she said that I'd asked not to be called, I told her, "That's right, so we'll just not talk any more."  Then she told me not to tell her how to do her job. Because I'd read about this scam, I just told her that I'd read about the scam and she wasn't going to get anything from me.  I see there are sufficient posts for anyone to know this is a scam, but I wanted to let others know a later date that it continues.

Have been receiving these calls repeatedly for about 2 years.  We are a Clinic, so I am not available while with patients.  They are told to call before 9 AM.  Just so happens I took a call just now.  The person ask for the person who handles Yellow Book.  I said, I do.  She proceeded to confirm that I wanted to cancel my Yellow Book Online Service and receive my final invoice.  I told her I do not have Yellow Book Online and never have.   She argued with me and stated that we do and she has an Invoice for final payment.  I then told her I was reporting her to the Arkansas Attorney General.  She immediately hung up.  I then called my Yellow Book representative who confirmed that this is a scam and has been going on for some time.  I am going to follow up and report them to the Attorney General.

Received a call from National Business Advertising. Lora Davis said she was calling to confirm my cancellation order for my company listing. She asked if I had a pen to take down the confirmation # and that I would need to pay my bill of $889.00 for cancellation to take effect or it would auto renew.  She spoke very fast  and when I tried to speak to her, she got really angry . I have never heard of this business  and I did not sign up for any business listing service.

Received a call from what the girl said was National Business Advertising. Said that she was calling to close our account for advertising and collect the fee.  I said we do not advertise (we do not).  And then the whole conversation started going in circles (our neighborhood newsletter at already reported that this scam is popular, so I had a heads up--although, I seem to have "spidey sense" when it comes to scams).  She eventually hung up on me, when I kept repeating that I wanted her phone number to call back.

IF they call back (and, previous posts makes it look like they will), I plan on having even more fun with them!  

1ST IDEA
Since so many companies record their own voicemail these days, how about pretending they are in Voicemail Jail?  For example, tell them "just a minute", then after pausing say, "Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Service, Press 3 for Customer Support" AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR PRESS, PUT YOUR PHONE ON MUTE AND SAY NOTHING!  Let them just sit there!

2ND IDEA
The second you realize it's them SAY NOTHING, just put your phone on MUTE (so they hear no tone from your end) and wait for them to give up.

3RD IDEA
Tell them "I am required by law to inform you that this call is being recorded."  You will need to continue to repeat that, because it sounds like they are reading from a script.  If that doesn't get them to hang up, go to idea #1 or #2!

I have a ton of ideas!  All of the fun aside,  I personally think not talking is the best way to handle this.  It sounds like they are well trained to talk in circles, try to intimidate and just be persistent.  They cannot control you, if you don't talk with them!

Got a phone call at my full time job today from my part time job boss - he had told these people to call me on my cell phone to discuss - they went so far as to say that they had collected money from us back in October of 2011, that one of my co-workers had authorized the charges, and even told me that they had bank information on file from our bank (where are account actually is located!). I explained to LORA DAVIS (supervisor) that I did not have any financial information in front of me to pay anything up front (they offered some sort of discount of $200 to pay immediately), but said if we had the bill faxed or mailed to us that it would be $828. I told them well, I guess you will have to send it out because I was not able to authorize payment.

Thought everything was overwith when my boss called me AGAIN today, because a different lady called him and said I had authorized the immediate payment yesterday and that he was to give them the banking info. Thank goodness he called me before doing so - then the same lady again called me (at my full time job) so I told her to stop bothering me, as I thought we had all of this resolved YESTERDAY. I did some research today using a reverse phone # lookup and found several comments with regard to this similar to mine. If they call again, my boss told me he is going to keep them on speaker phone and tell them he is calling our attorney on the other line just to see what they do/say.

This woman called me several times saying I owed $826.00 for computer ads.  I told her I never approved that and would not pay inless she proved I requested it.  She is very rude and ends up hanging up on me.
Now someone from this phone number has tabed into my computer and who know what they got.
I have open a case with the Federal Trade Commission and I am keeping them updated each time they call me.  This is harassment and I will fight back.
The FTC phone number is  1-877-382-4357

I also got a call from this rude thieves. I have reported their number to the FTC. Please take 5 minutes and report them. It is the only way to get rid of them. !!!!!
