As many business owners know, Yellowbook is a very aggressive marketer of Internet and Yellow Pages advertising. My recent experience with Yellowbook has shown that it is an unethical company with sloppy business practices and dishonest employees.
After a very unsuccessful stint with Yellowbook, I notified them of my desire to cancel the advertising contract for future publications. Verbal notification was not enough for them, so I faxed in a notice of cancellation and also hand delivered a written notice to my sales representative on a form prepared by a Yellowbook employee. When I called to dispute the balance on my account, I have been given various excuses that include (1) wrong method of cancellation (false); (2) no record of cancellation (false); (3) the employee who the cancellation no longer works there (false); and (4) I didn't cancel in time (unverified).
I have repeatedly asked for a copy of my contract and proof that my advertisement was included in the 2008 edition of Yellowbook. Despite numerous promises to do this, I have not been provided with either item.
Avoid advertising with Yellowbook at all costs or you will be severely disappointed.in my case, the revenue generated did not even cover the cost of the advertisement.
