Directory Listing Scam:
This is where someone claimed to be representing a company
that produces call you and ask you if you wanted to renew
your directory even though you never subscribed to the
Directory Listing before. They attempt to convince you that
this is something that you or someone in your organization
had already agreed to and all they are asking you to do is
to renew the subscription. They convince you to make a
payment. But, after you make the payment you never hear
from them again or see the Directory. The Directory do not
exist. To steer clear of the law, some businesses will
reportedly print--but never distribute--a few copies of a
directory to have something to show for their efforts.
Protect your business:
If you haven't
seen a directory before and can't verify that it's actually
distributed, steer clear of any such offers. It’s easy to
research these things on the web by doing a Google search. |
