YellowPages review: failure to deliver on contract! 50

YellowPages.com are crooks. Their website is shotty at best and the amount they charge per month is ridiculous. Spend money with Google.

I regret having signed up for a 12 month contract. As a business owner with many types of advertising I felt I should warn others about yellowpages.com. First, the ad was totally not effective. Second when I called to cancel the account customer service did not even ask why I wanted to cancel, meaning...they could care less! Third, they would not let me out of the contract even though dissatisfied. Fourth, when I voiced my dissatisfaction stating I would not use Yellowpages.com again, I was cheerfully told "no problem, thanks and have a nice day” I get excellent results with Google advertising and have more control. The customer service with Google is excellent.

Has anyone tried a class action law suit? We are thinking of starting one please contact us www.kmjones2006@yahoo.com

JUST A BIG SCAM!

As a former employee and top performer, this company is the absolute worst. We were fed tons of misinformation and put through sweatshop like conditions. I can't wait until the class action lawsuits come by not just the businesses who were ripped off, but by the employees who were screwed over. Anyone know another company with a 400%+ turnover rate in a single year? The former VP of Sales (since disgraced and fired) claimed they would be bigger than Google in a few years. Completely laughable.

ATTENTION AT&T stockholders... get out while you can!

I am in the same boat promised me 90 clicks for $330.00 per month.They have not delivered. I also believe thier analytics are lies becouce over 4 months I have not had one call yet they claim to have sent 156 click. I would definantly sign on to a class action.

We are also trying to get out of our contract, they say we got 779 impressions, with 8 click through for 5/08. They do not provide any detailed reports. Customer Service is a joke. Their advertising has not generated any business for us. This is a total rip-off and we also can not get out of our contract. Definitely interested in the Class Action Lawsuit!

yellowpages.com is a total scam. I cannot believe a company this size does this. I know this was not performing a week after it was up, and since i've made several phone calls tyring to get it corrected, and i finally told them that i don't want the ad anymore and i'm waiting to hear from them. Please sign me up for a class action suit.

Yellowpages.com is a complete and utter POS! Yeah they guarantee you clicks/year now. They guaranteed me top placement and however many clicks in a year for $600+/month. Man do I regret signing anything with them. It's been 3 months and I've gotten maybe 150 clicks or so. I told them w/i the 1st month I wasn't happy and then the 2nd month I told them IN WRITING that I wanted to cancel and to pull the ad and they KEPT IT UP! And then they have the nerve to harass me all-day at work and via e-mail and say I owe them for 3 months which is BS as I told them to cancel after the 2nd month. I owe them for 2 months and will not pay them a penny more!

These guys are crooks and a waste of money! I get more hits from Google than them and I don't pay Google anything!

F*** you Yellowpages.com, may you rot in corporate hell!

Sign me up for a class-action lawsuit.

I was recently contacted by one of their very pushy sales people trying to get me to advertise. I explained to the girl over and over again that I was a locksmith specializing in emergency lockout services, and 99.9% of my customers consult a phonebook and 411 directory assistance, not the internet when they are locked out of their homes. She repeatedly told me that I was wrong and I would likely get 1/3 to 1/2 of my business from the yellowpages.com advertisement. I then asked how she expected people to get onto their computers when they are standing outside locked out of their homes or in the middle of nowhere locked out of their cars, and she STILL insisted that I would receive several calls per day from their site. Finally I had to terminate the call and I told her to take my company off of their contact lists and to NEVER contact me again.

Sign me up for the class action lawsuit. They said what ever they had to to get me to sign up. They said if it wasn't working they would let me out of the contract. They said if it was working they'd give me a couple of months off with out paying. I had to close my checking account to stop them from sucking 706.00 our every month.

I have tried to contact the person who sold me the line of BS, one time I spoke with him and we were to meet to discuss why i was unhappy with yellowpages.com and he never returned my call to set up a time to meet.I was being charged 421.00 a month for at most 10 clicks!Not one phone call!I have since then shut off my credit card.Now they call me all the time and have said it would go to collections.Has anyone been contacted by collections?They are a fraud!They promised if not happy I could cancel without problems.

also have proof sales reps leave false good reviews for new clients placing an online ad--anyone know how i can proceed with lawsuit let me know.

Do not do business with Yellow Pages. My story is long but i will make it short. Firs i contact them i make and agreement with their sell rep., but after two months i didn't receive my contract and i contact them again. They told me that he moved to another department and i have to make another contract, because they can't find my previews one. I had an agreement with the second rep.to do advertisement on their phone book. After a month i received a bill for $86 for my internet add. I called many time and left many massages to the rep. i talked the last time, but not answer. I contacted their consumer services and they forwarded me to another rep. in my area. He sent me an info with all my first agreement that i was told that don't exist, so i cancel my phone book advertisement because i was told i can not cancel my internet add, because is already started. I asked them to make it at least smaller add, because i never agreed to place the most expensive one.I t didn't happened called again in a few weeks and costumer service told me that my phone book add is canceled and i have the internet add only and when the contract ends in December it will be over if i not contact them. I didn't believe them any more because i even didn't have a contract signed by me. I checked on google about complains and here i'm. I learned that you have to send them a letter with certification that you want to cancel your contract called them again and they told me that now my contract is until April next year and even in my acount i still have add pending for their phone book add which i canceled few months ago. I'm still fighting and now i'm still waiting to see my unexciting contract. By the way now is end of April and i don't have even a single phone call from their add on internet, and it is second on the first page, means expensive. Don't even think to call them and do business with them. You will be disappointed and you will end with many hours on the phone trying to find the true. But if you think to call them and try to make and add at least buy a small tape recorder and record your conversation with them.Don't say yes before listen your records at lest twice. And ask them a questions and record their answers, because you will need this record to prove it one day.

Please email me to sign up for the class action.

I signed with my contract online and spend $52.00 a and get 3 or 5 clicks a month for my business since Jan 2009.

I emailed them that I would like to cancel my contract first. I was waiting for two days but nobody answered. Then, I called their customer service to cancel my contract. I think the number is [protected]. I talked to "Jay Mexxx", though I doubt it is his real name, at customer care department about my cancellation and he said I can't do that because the contract is 12 months. I asked him to send me the contract that indicates that I can't cancel the contract in 12 month. Then, he emailed me a link:
http://www.yellowpages.com/about/terms

However, when I asked him where is the part of the period of the contract, he couldn't show me where it is, and insisted that I must have seen it when I signed in online.

Then, he started talking about how to improve my ads such as changing a image or offering customers calling from yellowpages.com with some free gift, etc.

After the experience, I googled "how to cancel my contract with Yellowpages.com" and am being here. I have found lots of information similar to my experience and have a confidence now this company is a fraud.

Yesterday, I emailed to
ypcsupport@yellowpages.com that " Please, attach the fax form to cancel my contract with yellowpages.com and email it back to me. "

and today(1 May, 2009), I got email back from them that:

Hello,

You would just need to write us an letter/email requesting to cancel and your account will be cancelled .
Thank you,

This is amazing me a little since I learned here that I had to fax the form to cancel it. They actually don't require the action. However, I still doubt that I can cancel my account by just sending a email since I read a lots of hassle with them. There is no signature in the email. It doesn't mention how much it is billed or when the account will be canceled.

I am going to write a email to cancel my account and let you know whatever will happen to me. If it doesn't work, I will definitely join to the class action.

Also, unfortunatley, superpages.com can be a fraud as well as yellowpages.com. Unfortunately, I have to fight with two company for my money.

I wrote the following email and send it to them just before.

To: Customer Service
Effective immediately, please cancel our account with yellowpages.com. We would appreciate written confirmation within 2 days that cancellation has taken place by email.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely yours,

Let's wait and see...

Then, I have received following the message.

I received a phone call from:
[protected]
(5, May 2009)

He asked me to confirm My business Name, address, my name, and explain about the cancellation fee and something about the number that I need. I think my voice was recorded because when I spoke, the conversation was stopped unnaturally. He also mentioned I need to be contacted by the qualitive representative to cancel the contract. I asked him who you are and what you are doing with me. The phone was hung up and couldn't reach to him again when I called back.

Then, I wrote the email to Customer Care:

To: Customer Care,

No. We only accept Fax or Email for the receipt of my request.
Or, it will be reported to the public.

Regards,

Here's is what my att Advertising contact should said:

5. Renewals. We reserve the right at our discretion, but we are not obligated, to renew your Advertising for renewal Terms coinciding with the publication dates of the directory. We will send you notice of renewal by U.S. Mail, containing any change in Advertising rates and the accompanying terms and conditions, and you may refuse the renewal by giving us written notice within 15 days from our mailing, or by the deadline contained in the notice, whichever is first. We reserve the right, upon written notice to you at any time prior to renewal: (a) not to renew your Advertising for reasons set forth in paragraph 2 above or (b) to eliminate or modify any terms, conditions, standards, specifications, products, headings or policies (including without limitation priority placement of Advertising) affecting your Advertising. All Internet Advertising will automatically renew at our discretion at the then current rate unless cancelled prior to the publication date of the next printed directory. After renewal, only changes resulting in the same or increased level of Internet Advertising charges may be made.

After reading this I wrote a letter to my sales rep informing AT&T of my desire to cancel and not renew my contract. I mailed the letter certified mail so someone at AT&T had to sign for it. I have a copy of the letter and a return receipt that proves the cancellation letter was received. Now if AT&T tries to do something stupid and auto-renew me, I have material evidence that proves my notice to cancel was delivered.

Here is the text of my cancellation letter:

This letter is to inform you that our advertising agreement for print and internet advertising signed on 6/10/08 is not being renewed.

Our company is extremely concerned that our other marketing activities -- free craigslist ads, contractor review websites and targeted flyer distribution – all outperformed the yellow pages print and internet advertising. Our free craigslist ads alone generated $300, 000 in contracts, yet the paid advertising in the Yellow Pages book and yellowpages.com generated $ 0 in revenue.

In regards to internet marketing, over the last ten months www.yellowpages.com generated only 24 clicks to the www.companyname.com website. This was an average of 2.4 clicks a month! If I factor in the total cost of the internet advertising ($42 x 10 months = $420 ) and divide by the number of clicks generated ($420 / 24 = ) the cost per click is $17.50. During this same time frame the www.companyname.com website had over 500 hits from craigslist at a cost per click of $0.0.

Unless AT&T Advertising can somehow refund a significant portion of the funds paid on this non-performing advertising contract Our Company will make it a policy to never do business with AT&T Advertising again.

Thank you,

This Works, just remember to send the letter certified or registered mail and the letter must be received by AT&T by your renewal deadline.

I am an attorney in New Jersey. I have filed a class action. Would you have a minute when I could contact you?

Thanks!

We are in the same boat it seems. However we just did our ad through the printed book. We were contacted by the rep at their dealine to close out the book so they rushed us through the whole thing. I was not on board, my husband was. They sent this really good sales person out to address my concerns. $2500/ month is A LOT of money! He assured me that we would get the calls. The ad went out in March 2009 and we have not go one job from the book. We also advertise in our local Penney Saver ad and almost always get the job. I just got off the phone with ATT today trying to cancel this ad before it snowballs, they all told me no and that's how I am here. I really don't understand why they can't cancel the ad either, when they printed the ad, they used "their own ghost" numbers to track the calls, so our actual number is not even in the ad! Just turn it off, we won't get any calls (which is the problem to begin with) . Please let me know if there is a class action. We are on board!

I am a formal employee from the Portland OR yellowpages.com division. I work for the company for about a year and was one of the top sales rep in our office. And after reading your stories I have to say everyone of you are right. The add tracking report is misleading, and were made to sell online illusions. And feel that the company lies to it customers and it's employees. Keep in mind we have a gun to are heads form management all the time. They pay all there account manager a base salary of 56k annually and if you hit your monthly goal you get 6, 000 bonus . So if you do the yearly goals you will make 125, 000. So this is why yellowpages employees do what ever it take to get you to sign!

I have to say that some programs work with some industries, but most of it does not work at all or very little. My advices do SEO and do your own clicks through Google and Yahoo in the sponsor links.

Good Luck

Dear Sir, I thank you for your honesty and for confirming what I already knew to be true in my heart. Could we speak privately via email? Please contact me @ allamericandoor@gmail.com If you or any other Former employee can come forward it would be a huge blessing for a ton of victims. Justice can be found. It takes honest people like you... to take a stand. I am taking a stand. I will not let a giant corporation scare me. Thanks Again.

p.s. During this writing I received and email from Gordon: Shaun - I hope to talk to you next week. I am interested in this case and want to discuss further. I would be interested in talking to the former employee from Portland. Would you want to ask him to contact me? Regards, Gordon Rudd

Dear Previous Employee Please contact my by the email above or here in this forum. Sincerely Shaun

pss they sent me to collections for $4, 000 but the collection bill is claiming I owe $40, ooo somehow added and extra zero. Funny how this works..

Thank you for coming forward previous yellow Pages salesman. I too would like to be contacted by email. contact@jordanewertphoto.com

Is there ANY way out of this damn contract?!

I have had the same exact situation as described by others on here.
I want to know if there is any way we can band together and do somthing about this.
Please let me know and count me in...please.

phil@philipsuzanne.com

I have had the same BS experience from AT&T as you people described.
But mine gets better...I kept it for a year...waste of money, then we moved our office, they say they sent a letter and we never got it ...SO...

THEY SIGNED US UP FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF THIS USELESS SERVICE...NO CALL BACK WHEN I LEAVE MESSAGES, NO SUPERVISORS WILL GET ON THE LINE.

I beg of you people to band together before someone has to do somthing drastic to get these peoples attention.

I want to know is there any way we can band together and get out of our contracts.

They are giving me the same run-a-round. I cannot cancel this for the life of me. Am i really going to have to cancel my CC and change my phone number... then deal with collections the rest of my life?

This is such a load of BS. Any advice or joint suit would be appreciated. I live in Northern NJ.

I had an LLC which was dissolved and now they are saying I am responsible for the debt. The whole point of having an LLC is to protect my personal assets.
I have requested my signed documentation twice now and have not received anything in return. Several called to my sales rep and customer service lead me no where fast. Hell i would almost agree to an early termination fee... they give you 0 options... just through you into collections.. nice business practice..

Mobile Crunch wrote the following article lately.

Get angry: AT&T changes contract to prevent class action lawsuits UPDATE FROM AT&T
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/08/10/get-angry-att-changes-contract-to-prevent-class-action-lawsuits/

I posted the following comment:

---------------------------------------------
Yellowpages.com is something wrong as well as AT&T. As you know, yelowpages.com is owned by AT&T.

I am a small business owner and signed their online advertising of yellowpages.com since last year. After a couple of months, I realized it didn’t have any positive effects for my business. So, I wanted to cancel my account. However, they insisted the contract was 12 months and I couldn’t cancel it. Even they failed to show the contact that proves that particular agreement.

Because it is charged on my credit card, I am still charged monthly for nothing. I was just thinking to take a class action, so I was interested in this article and wanted to let you know about the issue.

At the same time, I realized there were many of other victims with this giant cooperation, yellowpages.com of AT&T.

Their representatives are also infamous with their aggressive sales call, lying, preventing your cancellation, and even worse, renewing your contract without your permission.

Please visit and read more reports about the issue at complaintsboard.com.

YellowPages.com — failure to deliver on contract!

hope Tech Crunch or any other medias pick up this issue.

Its a good thing you business owners ACTUALLY read contracts before you SIGN THEM.

Oh wait, you probably didnt.

Seems like shady salesman is to blame, and owners who didnt do their hw.

He said/she said, what does it take for you to get things in writing?

Pressure me all you want, I'll take all the time in the world to make sure what I am stepping into. Just a thought in mind, what other advertising medium or product can you all come up with that "GUARANTEES" X amount of business ? can you name one?

Google? Yeah, can google reallllly promise you 100 more customers a month? of course not. Neither can tv, radio, print, or online directories.

My pt is, There's no such thing. Advertising is what it is, its something that is absolutely necessary in any business you do.

Dont kid yourself if you think otherwise. Your business cards. Your sign out front . Thats advertising. Whats your ROI on those business cards sitting on the front reception table in the holder

How bout your store front sign that people drive by going 50 mphs. You dont know, do ya?

Seems like alot of angry folks here are more mad because of the hope and impression they got on basic advertising 101. Its kind of hard for anyone to feel bad for someone who is trying to justify they got ripped off believing a yellowpage ad is going to be a get rich quick strategy, when you as a business owner couldnt even take an extra 5 minutes to read the terms and condition of a contract that you had to sign.

Or unless you are also implying that you somehow gave your Credit card information to the salesman who mustve had a gun to your head?

class action? Incredible.

You Sir are an Idiot.

I would like to the list of complaints - I have just taken a contract ... stupidly with Yell the thieves who have again as listed above lied about thier statistics and then when contacting them about the issue they have stated "we dont guarantee" then I cant guarantee money from them... sorry but they are not getting paid...

ANYONE READING THIS DON'T! GO WITH YELL!

Here is what their own NYC Sales Rep had to say about their advertising, as quoted from an email:

"Please be aware that I don't ever recommend anything less than a platinum listing for one very simple reason...I promise you will see absolutely no results by purchasing one. You would be better off taking that $32 per month and treating yourself to a nice lunch once per month because you won't get clients with it.

I did not come by this information easily. When I first started at yp.com, I recommended them often in the interest of saving my clients money. In the end, they were disgruntled because they were so low on the page that they received no calls anyway and were wasting money.

You told me yesterday that you believed the time had come to finally invest a little money into your marketing and I made the best recommendations in my professional experience to help you achieve your goals.

Please trust in my expertise on this. It's not about me making extra money...that I promise you...it's about you not wasting yours on a product that is destined to fail (a bronze listing). I've learned the hard way over the years that if you don't put your best foot forward, you're better off staying off the stage.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dennis

I was one of the most successful sales reps for yellowpages.com. not a day went by that I dint came away with a sale that i felt good about. Every rep for the company will promise you the world, guarantee it will work, and use excel to inflate the "searches" they are showing you that you're supposedly missing out on by not signing up. At the end of the day, its a bunch of sales guys with no college and very little experience making upwards of 115K the only way they can. they say and do whatever it takes, and theyre dang good at it. it doesnt make them bad guys, it makes them opportunistic. I know a vast majority of them felt the guilt and sadness I felt over the years.

You see, we go in with a lot of fodder, a lot of stats, and a lot of bogus reports that we'd use to convince you that its worth the money and you're missing out by not getting in the game. The reps take the stats and jack them up a few hundred a month and it looks like a sure bet. then we'd give you the Return On Investment figures. 10 to 15% was what we'd promise. when you jack up the numbers on trackers, that 10 to 15% ROI goes from 1 job a month to 5 to 10. we created the whole illusion.

As far as the contracts go. we just were taught to tell people that we didnt really have a collections department. even management would tell customers this to get them to sign. we'd say "we dont get social security numbers or birthdates, so we cant make you pay. we just call you a bunch because that all we can do. you have nothing to lose if it doesnt work". this is as far from the truth as can be.

dont sign with them. the stats may look good, but thats because we made them up. if you dont ever use yellowpages.com, how can u be convinced others do? nobody uses it, its not user friendly either.

google and yahoo. do it on your own and save!

I didn't place any faith in the statistics. My issue was that we were going to get just vendor calls... since our customers probably don't use the Internet much and use Yellowpages.com even less. But if it's pay-per-call, what do I have to lose? So I asked the sales rep at the time of signing if I was going to be charged for the calls that weren't from potential customers. He said I should run each month's bill by him and he'd take off the calls that were not potential customers.

Of course, there's some subjectivity there. If a doctor's office calls or a French-speaking company in Quebec calls, they should be deleted since they're clearly wrong numbers. But will the salesman go along with this? I found that he went along with it for 2 months. After that, we got charged for customers calling from over 500 miles away that we couldn't help, vendors, the works. Then you get saddled with a big bill and no customers. So now their collections dept. is after us. The sales guy either doesn't answer his phone or he SAYS he called the numbers on the bill that I'm contesting and verified they were potential customers looking for our services. One time he pulled this, I called 2 minutes after he claims this and NOBODY is interested. When an itemization of the results of these calls is sent back to him... nothing. Customer Service does no good. They say, "We can't remove the calls from your bill. Only the salesmen can."

So if you change your number, then the next person to get your old number receives the calls and you still get charged for them. They won't remove a number from the account. So the customer service team is complicit as well.

Kudos to the ex-rep above for 'fessing up. Very cool.

I am currently involved in a lawsuit with yellowpages.com

They are flat our trying to extort me. I never signed a thing for an online ad and now they are saying I owe them for 15 months of advertising. I paid 4 months, then tried to cancel. They then informed me that I had signed up for a 19 month long contract.

WTF?

Like others have said, they can produce nothing that shows there was ever a 19 month long contract, much less one I actually agreed to and sign.

Regardless, the collections attorney file a suit, then as soon as I answered the complaint, he called me to start settlement discussions. I told him to GTFO, there would be no settlement at this time.

The exhibits in the complaint are a joke and don't even come close to supporting the claims made (they actually prove my point).

I research the particular court this filing was made and their are hundreds of similar complaints filed. It's part of their collection process I believe.

Anyone every gotten this far in the process?

Our business has been really hurt by the practices of AT&T yellowpages.com. We hired AT&T yellowpages.com to help our small business get what their sales rep promised us to be a great advertising campaign with a serious increase in business and clients. After numerous meetings and visits from AT&T yellowpages.com we decided that they can help our 50 year old business thrive. We even went and made a separate web page to see what kind of effect that this new campaign would have for strengthening our small business. We were promised phone calls, web hits and a serious increase in business and we have not had any of the things promised to us. Unfortunately, for the first 8 months of the campaign, yellowpages.com was sending clients to another web page (not the one I created for them). Also, we were initially promised to be the second company from the top on yellowpages.com and within a month or so, we got demoted to third. We were paying $1, 100 per month for this campaign and have not seen any results what so ever. In October of 2009, we called AMEX to start an investigation and to try and recoup our money that we have spent. They were able to get us back 6 months of payments; with 3 months that were not able to get back. I have been in constant contact with our sales rep who supports a full refund due to the companies screw up and have numerous emails saying that he is trying to get us back our full refund and without merit has not been able to do so. We keep getting invoices for a contract that has not been delivered and are truly at our wits end. The Sales rep keeps telling me that he’s working on the refund, and invoices still keep coming in. This week we have been receiving numerous calls that the company is taking us to collection agency. We would like to cancel our campaign and just be rid of this horrific experience that we have had with yellowpages.com.

I implore you to please start an investigation, for I know that there are numerous others who have been mislead and basically screwed by AT&T yellowpages.com. It saddens me that such a big company would have such a terrible service to provide small business owners. I recently went onto the web to see if anyone else has the same problems as we do and have found an abundance of companies with the same issues.

I am sorry that you are not happy with yellowpages.com. I was looking online found a website that you can have a ebillboard for FREE. Just go to seekshallfind.com. I was talking to my friend Yann he sign up for a ebillboard. He told me that he is glad that he got a ebillboard. His business just moved to a new building he went to change this info with yellow book and was on hold for 35 Minutes waiting for someone to talk to. When he went to his ebillboard and change his info and it took him just few minutes.

I have the same problem, no performance, no response. We did not sign a contract, but there is a verification recording where my husband declined the service, and the rep talked him back into it with a bunch of fake stats and empty promises of how great it will be. 1 or 2 hits a month, NO phone calls or internet inquiries. Total waste of money. They will not let us out of the contract, so I am paying it and today contacting the county district attorney and filing a fraud complaint. I am not sure what they will do but I figure that when the contract is up I will sue them for the amount of the contract, jus to make them miserable. My contract amount is far less than what overs have been stuck for- but none the less, we have been had and now want some justice.
