American Yellow Distributions

Review: Pride and Power, Inc. has never done business with this company nor are we familiar with what they do. We received a collection warning bill with no description in the amount of $2375.95. Supposedly this is a advertising agency. The phone number on the invoice is 800-557-2990 which is a Directv installation service. We have not entered into a contract with American Yellow Distribution, Inc. -6977 Navajo Road#106- San Diego, CA 92119.Desired Settlement: $100 for harassment

Review: American Yellow Distribution is attempting to commit fraud against my company. They have faxed, three times, a fake bill and threatened collection actions against my business. Any attempts to contact them are met with automated responses to "leave a message".Desired Settlement: I demand an immediate retraction of the fraudulent bill and to be compensated for my time.

Review: We have received a bill for $2375.95 for services that we never requested or received.Desired Settlement: Stop calling to try and trick someone in to signing up for somethin and/or stop sending falsified invoices.

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: Received Faxed invoice on 12/19/14 for the amount of $496.95 for advertising services not subscribed to. Complete with invoice # , Vendor #, customer ID [redacted] and order ID # We were never contacted or contracted for services. This is not the first fax we have received for the exact same amount. Different cities, invoice numbers, and customer IDs but same amounts. Their "Invoice" even has the "walking fingers" like the real yellow pages do. I have tried contacting them numerous times but I always receive the same messsage, and I have never gotten a live person.

Desired Settlement: Stop with the billing practices and loose all contact data involving my business.Desired Settlement: Stop with the billing practices, remove my name from list, stop ALL contact with me!!!!!

Review: I received an invoice stating that this telephone directory was going to send me to collections when I did not authorize the charge I have had problems with this company in 2012 and told them that they were not to contact me about advertising in the phone book again and have the documentation from that case. I tried calling and the phone goes to voice mail on every extension. I also sent them an email stating that I have never received any invoices prior to this one and that I never authorized the charges. I only do this type of transaction in writing. All of my employees know this as well and would have refered them to me. I don't know where to go from here. I have tried to contact them with no response.Desired Settlement: The charges removed from this account and the company to never contact me again. If it is sent to collections then it needs to be reversed so my credit is not damaged.

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.

Regards,

Review: On 10/7/14 we received a faxed billing statement / collection warning claiming a payment in the amount of $2375.95 was due immediately or American Yellow Distribution would send to a debt collector. We have never heard of this company or had any type of business with them.Desired Settlement: We believe this is a scam sent to many other. We had also received the same billing statement with same invoice number addressed to a former doctor at this hospital - this company needs to be investigated.

Business

Response:

Review: We received a false "invoice" from this company. It stated that we owed them $2375.95 for 2 years of advertising and that this was a collection warning. It stated that if we didn't pay it would affect our credit score.Desired Settlement: I wish to warn others who may end up paying for this without realizing it's a scam. We have received several similar offers from like companies over the last few years and are very careful who we pay now.

Review: We received an invoice from American Yellow Distribution, Inc. via fax in the amount of $2375.95 dated 10/07/14 for two years of service. The invoice has a line on it that says "9/2/2013;Pending Invoice for Twelve Months" as well as a "Collection Warning" stating that we are being reported to a credit bureau. We have never done any business with this company nor have we signed any type of agreement with them! We attempted to contact American Yellow Distribution, Inc. via the phone number provided on the invoice and there was no contact.Desired Settlement: We would like all charges removed from our account and our business name removed from any future communications with this company

Response:

Review: American Yellow Distribution Inc. faxed a false invoice to my company on November 27, 2014 alleging that we enlisted their company to help us post a listing. This information is untrue. We have never heard of this company EVER and I believe this is a scam. It is my opinion that this company faxes false invoices in the hopes that someone will pay the invoice even though no services have been provided.Desired Settlement: Also, I believe this business should be shut down due to the fact that they are trying to scam hard working people out of their hard earned money!

Review: Our church received a faxed invoice in the amount of $496.95 for a one year directory listing. We've never dealt with this company and did not order anything from them.Desired Settlement: We assume this is a scam but would like verification that we have a zero balance since nothing was ever authorized.

Response:

Review: I received a bill from this company, sent by Fax, for supposed yellow page listing that was unauthorized by me or any of my employees. The bill is for alleged two years of service in the amount, of $2375.95 and threatens to send my business to collection if not paid and states, "last chance to protect your credit score in good standing!!". This bill is a scam and I have no intention of paying. [redacted]Desired Settlement: I'm sure this company is scamming my business as well as other businesses across the US. I want the charges dismissed and for the company to cease contacting me and would like to see the business issued a cease and desist order.

Review: The Bridge Church has received a billing invoice for $496.95 from American Yellow Distribution Inc. for a Directory Listing we did not purchase. While they do not have our credit information this is still a concern, as we have heard of this fraudulent charge negatively effecting the credit score of churches in other states. All the calls we have made go to voice mail and we want this matter closed as quickly as possible.Desired Settlement: We have no account with this company and ask that this charge be removed from their records, and a confirmation of the clearing of this charge be sent to us for our records.

Review: I got a post card in the mail in 2011 or 2012 to confim the spelling of my name for the "yellow pages" accociated with the veterinary practice I just joined. The spelling was correct and I signed the card confirming correct spelling. Several months later I got a bill for over $2,000.00. I immediately called the company and had to leave a message. The My Florida web site stated that this company was fraudulent and to not pay them anything. I spoke with a state lawyer and he confirmed the report. A few days later, American Yellow Distribution's lawyer called and demanded I pay them the money. I said no, I hadn't agreed to any service, certainly not thousands of dollars relating to a business I don't even own,and Florida,s law enforcement indicated they were a fraudulent company. I confirmed the spelling of my name and that was it. He then said he could make this all go away if I sent them 300.00 or such dollars. I told him no. Fast forward to now, my place of business just recieved a fax from this company addressed to me saying I owe them 2375.95 and they have referred this to DEBT COLLECTORS-General Credit Protection Inc./Credit Bureau Recovery.

They are harrassing me for a supposed payment obligation I never made. I never wanted nor agreed to any services of any kind. I am not the owner, just a hired associate.

I want this harrassment to stop immediately and my credit to not be harmed. I have excellent credit because I pay my legitimate debts but I will not be bullied into this blackmail. I need you to tell them to cease and desist.Desired Settlement: Leave me and my credit alone.

Review: I am receiving faxes addressed to my business stating that I owe $2375.95 for invoice [redacted] dated 9/2/13 and that I am being sent to collection for said invoice. I have never done business with this company, the faxes come addressed to my business name and to an associate who left my business long before 9/2/13. Phone calls to this business are never answered; regardless of what time their number is called, one reaches a message stating to leave a voice mail and someone would return the call (no one ever does). These faxes are scams.Desired Settlement: Stop contacting me, remove any and all references to my company from their database, and someone should do something about their fraudulent invoicing practices. This has also been reported to the FTC.

Business

Response:

Review: We received an invoice via fax trying to collect 2,375.95 for 2years of advertising. We have never had contact with this company, let alone advertised with them. Repeated efforts to contact them about said invoice were unsuccessful. We request that they erase this supposed debt for services that were never ordered or asked for. We also request they never again contact us, save to let us know that issue was resolved.Desired Settlement: We request the "debt" erased and taken off contact list.

Business

Response:

Review: We were sent a collection letter for the amount of $2,375.95. It is unclear for what this was charged for, as our monthly local advertising bill is always paid for on a monthly basis. The fax from which it was sent is made unreadable and when called on several occasions, all service reps. are busy. I think this is a scam.Desired Settlement: I would like this company to be investigated as I believe it is a scam.

Business

Response:

Review: Our business has been sent a FAX indicating that we owe them in excess of $2000 and will be sent to collections. The FAX appears to be from The Yellow Pages (telephone listings). They are asking for immediate payment of this amount. This is intimidation. We do not owe any amount to them.Desired Settlement: No settlement required. This is just FYI to other businesses to BEWARE of this company.

Response:

Review: We, as apparently have so many others, received multiple faxes yesterday indicating a "collection warning" for "9/2/2013 PENDING invoice for twelve months" Invoice [redacted] for which no authorization for purchase was EVER made with this company. And interesting how we just receive this first notice yesterday by fax, indicating it is a collection warning when no other invoice or communication has ever been received, and yet supposedly is it for a pending invoice 9/2/2013. Multiple attempts to call yesterday and today were met with a recorded message indicating that all representatives were busy --- whether I selected option 1 for sales, option 2 for billing and collection or option 3 for customer service. Messages were left to which no return call has been received. I also faxed a copy of the bill to them, indicating that there was no authorization for this and to call me.It would appear that this is a scam, and I am certain that, unfortunately, someone has paid it as it is the "last chance to protect your credit score in good standing!!" Honestly, some government investigative agency should check out American Yellow Distribution and their "business" operations and shut them down. And, by the way, there is no indication of exactly what it is that our pending invoice is for..... but one must assume advertising.....is it LEGAL for them to use the yellow pages logo ("Let the fingers do the walking")?????Desired Settlement: Request credit of the bogus balance for invoice [redacted], and removal from any contact list for American Yellow Distribution Inc. via fax, phone or email.
