SuperPages.com review: Billing termination! 31

This company withdraw $49.95 out of checking account without my permission and I have done things they told to do to get my refund and its been a week and its still not refunded back to my account!

Beware!

I also had $54.95 pulled from my checking account.I have never spoken to anyone from SUPERPAGES.COM. How did you get the account info on all of the above as well as myself.I will be filing a legal action against this company as well as with the BBB and the FTC as well as the Credit Bureaus for fraudulent transactions on behalf of myself and the above listed complaints.

I canceled my advertising campaign with version super pages back in November of 2006 and now some other company bought them out and is trying to collect over $500.00 for past due billing for the year of 2007! I closed my account with superpages and discontinued my credit card payments.

Now I get collection calls for this BS balance and the rep said I have to show proof that I canceled my account via a written letter, witch I was never asked me to do in the first place.

This is just a big scam to try and get money from companies that closed their accounts with version and the new company is reopening them to try and force collections for services they never provided.

The Telemarketors call my business everso often. They are trying to get me to agree to there services. When they call you they try to get you to answer "Yes" to questions. I assume so they can say you said "YES" to there services and "YES" to charging you. I have had 2 differnent telemarketors use this tactic to part me from my hard "EARNED MONEY" Telemarketors go get a "REAL JOB"

Never give our your debt card. Make a formal complaint to your bank or credit card company. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, then they will listen and make the right changes.

Overpromised underdelivered. Clent baker promised top contact me and waited two months with strill no resolution

contact and file an official complaint with the better business bureau and the state attorney general, your state and the state of texas. you will get justice.

I agree with you about "Super pages Fraudulent business practices. About three month ago I have received a call from Superpages/Ideac Rep. He advised me to do some changes to my existing traffics click. The next thing I know my bill jumped from average of $50-124 (in which almost ZERO calls received from online add) to $380.00.

I have called there "I Care" and expressed my concerns, but no refund of stolen money as of yet.

From my 15 year experience in my service business Ideac/Superpages is by far the worst advertizing choice.

I believe that they should be reported to authorities.

call the betterbusiness bureau and go online to the state attorney general

Hello...we are a professional group of scientists and engineers, offering specific services for a specified area in the country.

Superpages.com, formerly owned by Verizon, claims we have had, over the last few months since we signed up, 1000s of "clicks". YET WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE CALL! NOT ONE! WATCH OUT. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. OUT OF TWO INQUIRIES, WE USUALLY GET ONE JOB, BECAUSE OUR SERVICES ARE SPECIALIZED. But from Superpages.com...NOTHING!

NOW, I'VE CLOSED THE ACCOUNT, BUT THEY STILL CHARGE ME A MONTHLY FEE!

Take my advise, DON'T SIGN UP WITH THESE PEOPLE.

For what it is worth - Idearc is now in bankruptcy.

Superpages was a scam and they ripped me off as well.

I've been a superpages customer for a few years and in the beginning it was ok. I believe it was in 2005 when I started using them. Then for a couple of years I didn't check on them and had been paying until 2009 when after using TraceMyIP.org to track the source of where the clicks are coming from. The reason I started using TraceMyIP.org is because I was not receiving the calls from customers who'd use superpages. We ask every customer where they found us, and we didn't hear "superpages" in their answer. So I started a little investigation.
I found that superpages is now a fraud. Through third party website, they drive untargeted WHERE the links we pay for are embedded without indication of where those links lead to! Now that's the fraud. People looking for pharmacy drugs click on photography services links from superpages! How about that!

I foolishly signed a contract with Superpages for a year of advertising for my New York office-cleaning business's website.
I capped the amount I might spend per month at $300, but they led me to believe that it was unlikely I would ever actually pay that much, and if I did, it would only be because I was receiving a huge volume of clicks. (And tons of calls and business.)
Over the entire year, I have NEVER ONCE GOTTEN A CUSTOMER OR EVEN A CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO GOT TO ME THROUGH SUPERPAGES, and yet they have charged me either $298 OR $299 EACH AND EVERY MONTH!
I believe Superpages was an out and out scam.
PLEASE, someone with a lot more legal savvy than me go out and start a class-action suit against these ###.
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! LET'S GO!

Yeah, the clicks generated by superpages all come from "partner sites" with obscure domains like alltruelocallistingz.com and many other ones, hosted on the same server, with the same IP and hidden behind a proxy. That is FRAUD, because they automate their clicks, use scripts to "click" on your link and charge you. We are really looking into filing a class action lawsuit for fraudulent services.

In response to Idearc comment:

What's the point of writing you guys? We have been ignored so many times, wasted so much time and emails and just feel that we've been ripped off.

Honestly, what's next?

What can you do anyway? We're still getting those bills, I dialed the idearc phone numbers so many times and talked to so many people who don't care about our situation anyway. We get phone calls from collecting agencies and we told them to stop bugging us, we are not paying for fraudulent services. Period.

A co-worker was forced to say "yes" over the phone and gave the sales guy the company credit card number. Big mistake. It is like selling your soul to the devil. If you try to cancel, even if it two days after the phone call, the sales rep will tell you then, that you agreed to EVERYTHING he said on the phone and they have your voice recorded with the agreement and it is a contract. He then asks a non-existant manager to cancel the account, and no one does anything. Erik deChatonnayree was our sales rep. He sounds very nice over the phone, will give yout this sad story about how awful things are going on with his life, and at the end, he does nothing and lies all the time. Will never commit to anything, will never cancel the account, the people I talked to have no last names, if you ask them they simply tell you "My name is Cheryl" and if you ask for their last name and what they do in the company, they refuse to answer.

And so on. Our salses rep promised to be in the top of google results, while your company has nothing to do with google. Those are lies, blatant lies. The superpages listing might be on the google results, but the sales rep will make you believe that "your site" will be in the top listings of google. That is a big lie, but that's not our biggest concern.

So, what can you really do? Cancel our account? Apologize? Take care of our situation? I talked to several people already and no one cares. Why should you do something different this time?

I agree superpages are a rip off. I received call from some one called Jose Yumet. Pretending to work with a company and is looking for some one to handle all the work he has to offer. This was suppose to be a once in a life time opportunity and only a few people will be selected. Next thing I know I am in a superpages scam . Not one call, not one job. They have this thing called the Superpages guarantee. I don't understand what they are guaranteeing because it is to get any additional business for my company. Is there any laws against this bait and switch?

My dad is now getting scammed from them too. We sent a cancellation request during their 14-day trial peiod. They took my complaints to mean that they would get a second chance if they could fix something. When we sent a SECOND cancellation request they told us we were too late, outside of the trial period, and essentially SCREWED for the rest of the year. When the salesman originally called my father, he promised two phone calls per day; even by their own admission, he recieced 3 phone calls all month and they "may or may not be legitamate...while we monitor responder fraudulent ip addresses, we can not release those addresses nor can we guarantee illegitamate contact". WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? It's simple, someone calls me; if I pick up the phone and talk to a person, you can charge me. If one of your $8/hr. flunkies dials your "monitoring phone #" and then hangs up...THAT'S FRAUD, plain and simple!

I was sold a Pay per Click/SEO package and the rep told me that I could try it for 1 month and cancel if I wasn't happy. Well, I wasn't happy at all; and I canceled immediately a month later. Superpages continued to bill me for a $300 a month maintenance fee that I was never told about. Not to mention the rep that told me I could cancel, didn't cancel me and has since then been released. On top of all this I never received one single phone call for business and NOBODY maintained my account. This company is shady and unprofessional. DO NOT USE THEM EVER. The manager of the person that sold me the package is Crystal Johnson out of Atlanta, Ga. so everyone unhappy with this company should call her. 678.859.0998

I called superpages.com to Cancle as the contract that i recived in the mail was diffrent from that the sales person told me.i could not get anyone because of a billing error and the there was no phone lines open. so i left a message as they requested. i never recived a call back and after calling them again i was told i owe money and I cant cancle my account so the months passed and I was called many times. onec a person told me that i can cancle the account and that it was cancled. but now im getting calls from some other company demanding that i pay $800 dollars or they want a list of my assets. this verbal contract is an unfair way to scam people into contract with out the person untedstanding the contract untill they send it by mail. witch by the way took more then two weeks the supposed limit time to cancle. I agree class action lawsuit.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM! It is absolutely useless to contact these people. I signed up for Superpages in Oct of 2009, was given a gauranteed number of clicks to my website. They have not held up their end of the bargain and I am still stuck paying $79 per month. I pleaded with them to cancel because my business is doing poorly, and the $79 per month would go a long way to help tie odds and ends...afterall, it's not doing anything for me through Superpages.

In fact, according to a conversation that I had with their representative, Jarrod Lindblom, they agree that I am not receiving the gauranteed amount of clicks, yet he said "there is nothing we can do". That is the most rediculous response I've ever received from anyone! OF COURSE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO! Let me out of the contract! They admitted that they are not performing! Is there anything that can be done?

I have had a very poor business experience with "Supermedia". I don't want to have to pay you to listen to all of the many errors that they have made. I am still trying to get them to reimburse me for $700 of over-charges. This has been going on for months. Please post this review to as many review sites as possible:

I decided to take a much closer look at our marketing efforts. One of these efforts included the decision to try "Superpages.com." I was given plenty of promises and even decided to have them produce a short video for our www/superpages.com ad. I never post reviews but this one might help others from making the same mistake. My main contact rep was Eden Pond. This was nothing but a game to him. The culture at Supermedia (the entity that handles Superpages.com) is callous. Mr. Pond and Supermedia stole $700 from me. Looks like I have to file a claim or something. I have since cancelled my account and I will spend those ad budget dollars at Google or Dex. I have spent 200 hours dealing with Superpages. Trust me - run. You don't want to waste money and time here. And how many "clicks" to our website in the last 6 months? About 10. And it isn't that they called us instead. Superpages.com didn't even list our phone number!

They led me t belive they were part of yellow pages .com which i was doing buisness with. they record you agreeing to their terms, but the dont tell you their terms. it gets mailed to you. terms are you have to send a written cancelation, and you have to cancle the 12 month contract within 14 day. buy the time you recive your first corespondence from them its well over 14 days. when you contact them they say you owe us 237.00 per month. when you say cancle it the say we cant for a year. then the collection letters start..

Brief Complaint Description:

I had the similar experience as many of the ones above. I would be interested in joining the collective lawsuit !

I was promised not more then $274 a month and the girl changed my listing title on recommendation of the rep. and i had to pay $475 a month. $200 more!

You have my business listed onmy facebook page as nicholas palladino agency inc in havertown pa at 140 eagle rd. this is not my business address. my address is in folsom or ridley pa 19033. this is very serious. i want it removed from my page and there is no way to remove it.

I have been a custoer of superpages since August 2013. Superpages provided a website which has received 1 click which was mine as I clicked in the site from work to see if there was any activity. I also had them provide me with a phonebook listing. i was never told that there would be a compact and large book. the compact book does not list me anywhere and no one in my area has received the large book which was distributed on Oct 1st. So here I am receiving a monthly bill for No Clicks at all and No phonebook listing/ no delivery of large phonebook to who knows how many potential customers. I have emailed my marketing agent with Superpages many times with no response. So frustrated...I am not going to pay any more of there bills and I am trying to cancel they account. By the ay I never signed a yearly agreement but they claim I do have an agreement on file. Ive asked for a copy of that signed agreement with no answer. TERRIBLE BUSINESS...DONT SIGN UP...IF U HAVE IM SORRY FOR U...

Brief Complaint Description:

Super Pages is a scam at its best !

I wonder how these A holes sleep at night knowing they steal from people

I am sorry that you are not happy with superpages.com. I was looking online and found a website that you can have a FREE ebillboard. You can also do advertising on this website for. Just go to seekshallfind.com. I was talking to my friend Mike that has a ebillboard and like it. He was telling me that he can go and make his own changes on this ebillboard. He like it because he can see how many people has been looking at this ebillboard. I hope this will help you. Have a nice day.

Any Business owner should be ware of these companies.

This will be the death of your business if you decide to advertise with them!

They have sales people that will offer a free listing in their phone books if you agree to a appointment with them.

They will come and provide zero evidence that their websites get as much activity as they do.
They target small business mostly in the service industry who don't have a website and they will offer to build them a website.

They Try to get you to sign a contract to direct deposit from your checking account or Credit Card on a monthly basis.

If you don't buy an ad or website, they will print the wrong phone numbers in their books and online yellowpages.

I know a ton of business owners who have almost gone out of business because of these yellowpage companies.

They all have horrible records with all the BBB's around the nation!

You can get a website more proffesionally done then the ones these companies offer for much cheaper
