I just had some guy show up at my door looking for a tow truck company. This is my HOUSE. He told me he got the address out of the local Boulder verizon yellow pages. I grabbed my phone book and sure enough, there is MY home address listed for a tow company that does not exist in Boulder. I called it and got some twit who sounded like she answers for many companies. I started looking through the list and noticed tons of tow truck companies in their book with Boulder addresses. There are only FOUR real tow companies in Boulder.
I began to notice that all the fraudulent listings have 303-222 as their starting numbers and they ALL list residential address's or other business's. I started googling these address's and found resteraunts, shopping malls, target, the middle of no where, a trailer park and a parking garage. NONE of the address's listed for the companies with the 222 prefix are real addresses yet the Verizon Yellow Pages has three columns of them. Try getting in touch with VYP to find out why they have my home address listed with some faudulent business and good luck! Can't find an address anywhere and the contact info leads to some company called Idearc Media.
Tomorrow I am going to go to each and every one of the address's listed for these bogus towing companies and inform them that their address's are being used for fraudulent and deceptive advertising. For the record, what I learned in all this is that Boulder has four towing companies, not 50. They are Hamiltons, Boulder Valley, Marvs and G&A.
