American Yellow Distributions

Review: Received a fax from a bogus Yellow Pages company stating that we owe $496.95. We have not purchased anything from this company. This is the 3rd fax of the sort we have received from multiple fake Yellow Page companies. It is a scam and we do not owe them anything. No "products" or "services" have ever been purchased. We've never done any business dealings with this fake company. They sent a random fax showing an invoice for things that have never occurred.Desired Settlement: We would like this to be cancelled and a $0.00 balance shown since we did not purchase anything from this company. Also, we wish to never be contacted again by this company. They need to be stopped, along with all the other fake Yellow Page companies trying to scam people out of money.

Review: We received an invoice via fax on 11/24/2014. We have never done business nor signed a contract with this advertising vendor. I attempted to contact the business but received a voice mail saying all representatives were busy. Reported this to Revdex.com San Diego on the same day, of which I received the following response as such: (We have checked the complainant's file. This is confusion during conversation between our representative and their employee. With the purpose of working out we will not be requiring for this payment and we already have removed their name from our list and also we have put the company balance at $0.00) A few things to take note of, first we do not have employee's and we have never talked to this company, so this invoice has been deemed fraudulent! However, this morning at 6:16 our time have received yet another invoice this time collection warning. This invoice has total different information ie: Invoice number, different Vendor number, different Order ID, the only thing that remains the same is the amount of $496.95 This so-called (American Yellow Distribution Inc) have as previously stated agreed to remove our name from their list, and put our company balance at $0.00 ** Obviously their written response to the Revdex.com is also fraudulent. WHAT A SCAM!!Desired Settlement: Please remove all fraudulent charges along with our business name from your system. We have not and will never do business with this company or should I say SCAM. I have already notified our lawyer if anything more (Invoices or Collection Warnings, etc) comes from this company there will be legal action taken!

Review: We received an invoice from American Yellow Distribution, Inc. via fax in the amount of $496.95 dated July 8, 2014. We have never done any business with this company! We attempted to contact American Yellow Distribution, Inc. on several occasions. We found that the phone number is different than the number provided by Revdex.com of San Diego. The number provided by the Revdex.com([redacted]) is a recording of a French individual's studio. The other number[redacted]) is a recording that does not allow anyone to talk with a representative. This is clearly another attempt to defraud companies of money. There are numerous complaints by other businesses that were duplicated in the same fashion. Please do not be deceived by American Yellow Distribution, Inc.Desired Settlement: We would like this company to not be allowed to operate. This is a fictitious act that should result in the removal of a business license. This company should not be allowed to defraud any company or individual of money again.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

Review: We received a fax notification from American Yellow Distribution Inc. requesting payment on an invoice from 11/22/2014. The amount they are requesting is $496.95 for a directory listing for one year. No one from our company ordered or authorized this so called Directory Listing. The fax we received lists an order number of XXXXXX. I attempted to contact this company directly, but no one would answer the phone.Desired Settlement: I am not seeking any settlement as I am not paying the invoice. We are a small business and all actions are approved through me and I have never approved of utilizing American Yellow Distribution Inc. If need be we will take legal action against this so called corporation. What a SCAM!

Review: We recently began receiving faxes from this "company" saying that we owe them $2375.95 for a 2 year listing with them. We never authorized any such listing, we have not received any itemized invoices during this alleged 2 year contract, and we had a problem last year with a company of the same name. The only difference between the company from last year and this year is their location (allegedly previously in Chicago, now in San Diego). Last year it was revealed that this "company" perpetuates a scam that basically sends fake invoices to people in the hopes that they pay (especially because the faxes say that they are reporting it to the credit bureau). Last year we filed many complaints and received many phone calls from them as well, and it was not until the owner of the practice threatened to get a lawyer involved that they stopped contacting us. So we went about a year with no further contact, and now we are receiving the faxes again; once again the only difference is the location listed as their address. It is also very interesting that if you type in the address (6977 Navajo Road #106, San Diego, CA 92119) and view it on google maps, you will see that it is a small store in a strip mall called PostNet that has private mailboxes. These people need to be stopped from taking advantage of businesses.Desired Settlement: I want this "company" to never contact our business again. We didn't fall for it last year and we never will, so you might as well stop trying. Ideally, I hope the police get involved somehow and get the schemers responsible but I'd settle for never hearing from them again.

Review: We received a fax on 10/7/14 of an "invoice" from American Yellow Distribution Inc. We do not have an account with this company. I handle all advertising and social media at our hospitals and never authorized any service with this company.

It is a fraudulent bill/scam.Desired Settlement: I have already sent a letter to the company saying to no longer contact the company in any way, and I have also filed a complaint with the FCC. This is mostly for the Revdex.com information and so other's can find this complaint and know it is a scam.

Review: We received two invoices via fax on 10/7/2014 one with the business name and one with a mispelling of an Associate veterinarian in the practice. Both invoices had the same invoice number and order ID for a pending invoice for twelve months dated 9/2/2013 in the amount of $2375.95. At no time did myself or the practice owner authorize any business/service/advertising with this company. We did attempt to call the provided phone number but it said that all representatives are assisting other customers and you must leave a message. This invoice is fraudulent in nature.Desired Settlement: We would like this company to remove any outstanding invoices with our company and/or employee names as well as not contacting us to solicit services or products.

Review: Alpine Hospital for Animals received a fraudulent invoice addressed to Sayles Candice DVM for a supposed advertisement that neither Alpine Hospital for Animals nor Candice Sayles requested or authorized. We are now being threatened with collections but we have never requested service. The vender number on the invoice is [redacted] and the amount is for $2375.95.Desired Settlement: Please add us to your do not call list and remove this fraudulent charge.

Response:

We just have checked the complainant’s file. Should be confusion during the

conversation between our representative and her employee. With the purpose of working out we will not

be requiring for this payment and we already have removed their name from our list and also we have put

the company balance at $0.00.

We really apologize for the delay

and this misunderstanding will not be happen again.

Review: [redacted]., dba [redacted], received an invoice indicating that we owed $2375.95 for advertising. The due date shown was 9/2/13. The communication indicated that this is our "last chance to protect our credit score in good standing!!!" and that it has been referred to DEBT COLLECTORS-General Credit Protection Inc./Credit Bureau Recovery.

We have never spoken to this company about advertising through them and have not ordered anything from them. They do not even identify the product for which we are being billed and threatened with a collection agency and the ruination of our credit standing. In doing a Google search for this company, we saw several listings of the Revdex.com, with reports of the Revdex.com's actions, so we feel that we are not the only people to suffer American Yellow Distribution, Inc.'s attention. We called them several times and could only reach an answering machine-- no humans ever picked up.Desired Settlement: This company never contacts me or my employer again and drops any collection activity that might actually have been put in process.

Review: Received invoice for $2375.95 for two year listing with free facebook and twitter features. I have no contract and no known relationship with this company.

The invoice states that this is "Last chance to protect your credit score in good standing!!!" and that "This file is referred to DEBT COLLECTORS-General Credit Protection Inc,/Credit Bureau Recovery.

I feel this company is fraudulently trying to collect money and implying a threat of ruining my credit.Desired Settlement: The company to acknowledge that this is not a debit I owe. Removal from any listing they may have. I do not want to receive any further communications from this company.

Response:

Review: We received, over the fax machine, an invoice of collection for $2375.95. We have never talked or had any business dealings with this company. It says on the invoice "This file is referred to DEBT COLLECTORS- General Credit Protection Inc./Credit Bureau Recovery."Desired Settlement: This is just simply bad business and should be stopped

Review: American Yellow Distribution, INC of Sandiego, Ca sent a "bill" stating that we owed them 496.95 for a one year advertising contract. On review of my accounts, I found that this contract does not exist. I searched for the business online and found that this is a scam. I wanted to issue a complaint here in case any other businesses receive a similar "bill" and are looking for reviews on American Yellow Distribution, INC. and so Am. Yellow Distribution does not contact us every again. This same thing happened about 2 years ago and the company called and sent faxes for months until we filed a Revdex.com complaint so this time we are filing the complaint right away. I don't understand how this business can continue to operate. It is one big scam. How can we shut this business down for good.Desired Settlement: Please have this company shut down. How many complaints must be filed to shut it down?

Response:

Review: I received an invoice for a directory listing that I did not authorize. The amount is for $495.95 for a supposed directory that I cannot even locate on the web or by print. This company has shown to be suspect in scam charges judged by the complaints filed with the Revdex.com and other consumer protection organizations. I have filed with the California Attorney General's office, the Texas Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission for their devious practices. They do not answer the phone when I call but play a recording to leave a message.

Response:

Review: On 11/30/14 our company was faxed Inv#[redacted], dated 11/28/14 in the amount of $496.95 for a directory listing that was not ordered.

The 800 number listed on the invoice only gives you a recording and no one returns your phone calls.

We get these fake invoices at least annually. The name and location of the directory company often changes, but it is always the same scam. They send a bill for something you did not order in hopes that your unknowing AP department will just process it for payment.

In 2011 I filed a complaint about a company called Telcom National Business Directory. Since that time I have received the same type of scam invoices from companies called American Digital in Annapolis, MD; United Directories, Inc of Atlanta, GA; and YEFIB of Charlotte, NC.

PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING MY COMPANY INFORMATION PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM THE RECORDS OF AMERICAN YELLOW DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND ALL OTHER SCAM DIRECTORY SERVICE PROVIDERS DOING THIS FAKE INVOICING.

Thank you for your assistance.Desired Settlement: PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING MY COMPANY INFORMATION PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM THE RECORDS OF AMERICAN YELLOW DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND ALL OTHER SCAM DIRECTORY SERVICE PROVIDERS DOING THIS FAKE INVOICING.

Review: We have never contracted for services with this company. We are receiving MULTIPLE faxes demanding payment. They are invoicing us for $496.95 on an invoice numbered 427318. They are threatening collection if we do not pay this bill. After verifying that we are NOT a participant on their website, we believe this is an attempt to defraud our business. It seems strange that the amount they are attempting to collect from us is the same as to the amounts of to prior complaints received by the Revdex.com.Desired Settlement: Adjust balance to zero and remove from all contact for all of our store locations.

Company balance at $0.00.
