Hi all, I kn ow it has been a while since my last blog, but I wanted to share an advertising scam that I was almost lied in to committing to yesterday.
A man, with a very thick accent, and obviously in a call center, called and said he was from the yellowpages. I couldn't understand what he was saying but he did mention google and yahoo a couples times. He then said he was doing a courtesey call to those of us that advertised last year, so we can sign up for this year. He just needed to verify some information. Assuming I did this last year, I agreed. Until he went on to read our old address, which we have not given out in about a year and a half. So I stopped him, and asked what the website was he was refering too, he said www.easyyellowpages.com, and it was only $479.99 a year. So I immediately entered that website in my browser and when it opened, I typed "garage doors" and "Apopka", you can't really find us any easier than that... and presto.... NO FLORIDA DOOR SOLUTIONS! Only two companies that do not have a garage door license with any of the surrounding counties. I tried Garage door repair in Orlando... nothing. I think I tried every city in the 20 miles area, and still nothing.
Easy Yellow Pages are lying to businesses, hoping they will not realize that they had never advertised with them before and will sign up for a year. Dont get caught up in there scamming practices! I realize it is a tough economy, but don't believe everything you hear!
