This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Idearc telemarketing liars are selling very expensive internet or Super Pages listings using phony free trial offer. After you agree to a free trial, they start billing immediately and they refuse to cancel. I can give anyone details of this scam, just send me e-mail if you are a victim of these crooks.

Denise Archie, a "sales person" at Idearc Media went onto my website last night after midnight and sent me nasty email reading, "you're full of ###" using the contact form on my contact page AND used an innocent man's name and HIS phone number she'd gotten off some other website.

I called him very upset isnisting he or someone he knows owes me an apology. He, it turns out, is another hairstylist who offers a service similar but not the same as mine. He said it wasn't him and asked if I found out, would I let him know who it was. I looked at eh bottom of hte message and the IP number was delivered with the nasty message. I did a "Trace Route" ont eh IP number and guess what it came by to? One of Idearc Medias' company computers! Go figure, Denise Archie was drinking and brewing up some hate.

She is completely inept and unqualified. She cost me thousands of dollars and plageurized content from other sites, even saying I use the "Yuko" system! I don't! That is against the law to STEAL Content and she left me wide open for a lawsuit from Yuko.

BEWARE of Idearc Media's Romper Room of Clowns and Jackals.

I've also heard they will hi-jack your domain name from you! Do not trust them.

I wish i couldv'e read all these comments before sighning up with them. I signed a contract with them abouth 5 months ago with understanding that would pay according to level of business they generated for me. I was terribly deceived! Shortly afterward, I received my first bill. Not only did they overbilled me, they nevered deivered on their promise.To this day..i received ZERO in jobs or leads but i owe idearc 2, 400.00. Don't get me wrong..I should've been smarter, more skeptical, less confident in their ethics, but I got wrapped up in the potential aspects of it all like everyone else.I was a fool. Anybody looking to do business with IDEARC...just look elsewhere. They are business rapists with no ethics whatsoever, prowling on small businesses desire to succeed.

My company is Jinkins Roofing & Repair. Superpages put up a website without my permission and has listed my company on Superpages.com without my permission. They are advertising my company in areas that I do not travel to as well as claiming that we do services that we do not offer. They have also put us on Verizon yellow pages. This is also unwanted and misleading advertising affecting our credibilty. I have called several people down at Superpages and they keep giving me the run around by giving me different numbers to call. When I call someone they just give me another number to call and tell me to speak to a different person, if I get to speak to a person at all and not a recording. I tried to use the name Jinkins Roofing & Repair yesterday to make a complaint on this website.

I see from the comment above that Superpages is lurking on this website. I would call Customerservice@idearc.com if I were actually a customer, but after reading the comments on this site I don't want them to assume I am a customer just because I emailed their "customer" service. I have called these people on the telephone though. Charlie Amos who is the salesman who contacted me. I called him at [protected]. I told him I wanted the web sites removed. He said he couldn't do that and gave me another number to call. He said that they could removethe website in real time. That number is [protected] ext. 8627. I left a message for someone to call me back and hear my complaint. Someone did call me back and told me to call Mary Welsh at [protected]. She told to call Jacob Smith at [protected]. Jacob Smith told me to call [protected]. I called that number and theytold me to call [protected] which is a number that I have already called. I see the game and the run around. So, Idearc, since you are lurking around I am making this perfectly clear. I want the fraudulant web sites removed and I want my company listing removed from your website. I don't want to advertise with your company.

I am having some trouble posting on this site. When I have tried posting as Jinkinsroofing & Repair I couldn't post and something pops up that says that user name is taken. So I posted as Jesse Jinkins and then I tried to post tonight as Jesse Jinkins and I had the same problem. So I'm going by Jinkins Roofing & Repair, Jesse Jinkins, and Jesse the roofer.

I am sorry that you are not happy with superpages.com. I was looking online a found a website that you can have a FREE ebillboard. Just go to seekshallfind.com. I was talking to my friend Mike he told me that he setup a ebillboard and he is happy with the site. He told me that you can go on and change any thing and with out calling one person to do it for him. He said that he can upload his business logo or other photos or up to a 5 min video.He said on this site and did not cost him a dime to setup. I hope this helps you you? Have a wonderful day.
