Local US Pages contacted our roofing company by phone claiming that we owed them money for 2 years of online telephone directory advertising. We were immediately suspicious because we have this type of advertising with 2 companies and they were not named Local US Pages and both of the companies had required money up front for the advertising. It seemed implausible that a company would provide us with advertising for 2 years and never send us a bill during that time and only now be trying to collect. We told them so and asked for proof of a contract with them, as well as proof that we had received advertising from them. They never did so. We then received a letter in the mail dated 3/29 from ACA Recovery, Inc. Purporting to be a debt collection company attempting to collect $774.95 for their client, Local US Pages. I called them and again reiterated my request for proof. A Ms. Kelly claimed to have a recording of us on the phone agreeing to the advertising, but when pushed to provide it, she became belligerent and hung up on me. I then googled the companies and their phone number and found several web sites like this one all with numerous similar complaints by other companies, including several churches, these people have tried to scam. I made formal complaints to the Attorney General in my state and to the FTC as well as the BBB. Please do the same, the more they hear from the sooner these government agencies will take action against them! A wise person once said that the "only thing required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Please do your part to protect others from being cheated out of their money!
