About 3 years ago, I was contacted by a Yellow Local Pages and agreed to list our media company with them. I don't remember the amount I was quoted, but I believe it was in the $100 range. Something strange happened after that, we started getting calls asking about sporting goods. THEY LISTED OUR MEDIA COMPANY, MEDIA SAVVY, AS A SPORTING GOODS STORE! The calls have continued even though I asked that they change the listing several times. When I asked to cancel they told me that I would be charged a fee of $500 to opt out. Now I am dealing with CCRecovery, a debt collector, who said that if we give them $823.95 they will go away. We only got one call from them and they claimed that they will "ruin your credit and cause a 7 year blight on our credit history, both personally and the business." So not only were we scammed, but we were subjected to annoying calls regarding sporting good. I told the company, when they called to tell me that I would have to pay $500 to get out of this deal, that we would not pay for a service we did not receive. And now I am dealing with "Lisa Langford" at CC Recovery who promised "150% that I will ruin your credit and we will got through your bank to recovery the money." Now I am reading that this company's practices are being reported to the FTC and Attorney Generals. I am doing the same and encourage you to do it as well. We need to stop these practices. And, we are still not paying these people for their scam!
