Customer ReviewsforProvincial Online Phonebook

This company is a real scam. They record you saying yes and then try to extort 850.00$ a year for two consecutive years. They continually call and threaten the collection agency. I paid the first 850.00$ with a verbal promise to never be bothered again. This time, they apologized that the lady who contacted me made the error and that I need to pay the additional money because it is a verbal agreement for two years of advertisement. We have never seen or signed a contract. We have never approved an advertisement for our company and we have never been able to locate any advertisement. Be careful when being contacted to not use the word YES when responding.

My husband is currently being harassed by this so-called Provincial Online Phonebook company. They have threatened legal action and say we owe over $1,300.00 in overdue invoices. We've never received any invoices from them, and have never heard of this company until yesterday when they called to say we were overdue in payments. The threats are idle - don't fall for their lies.Having read all the previous reviews here, it is clear this is indeed quite the scam they are running. All businesses should be wary of this kind of scam/phishing practice. There was never a contract for services, and there were no invoices. Report them, as I am doing here, and hopefully, it will help to save others from being bullied into paying for services that don't exist.

Complete scam. DO NOT PAY NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR WHAT THEY SEND YOU (invoices, bills, statements, letters from lawyers)RED FLAGS: Their website does not exist: www.provincialonlinephonebook.com. Their mailing address does not exist: CP26527 CSP *******************, ********, **. Their prior mailing addresse of ********************************************************** is a ******************* store. Their phone number area code (833) is known for scams. The numbers they call back from are always completely different with different area codes (known for scams). They use a ****** email address rather than address associated with their company email. The copy write/wording of postings/ads do not reflect quality of a "digital advertising company" and seems childlike. They have ***** ******** Likes which cannot be viewed - it makes no sense for a digital advertising company to not allow others to see the other companies they follow, like and support. They have ***** ******** Followers that cannot be viewed, and the number does not make sense given the history. It makes no sense for a digital advertising company not to allow others to see the companies they follow, like and support -absolutely no sense. On ******** they only have 6 People who are primarily located in Africa. They have none in ****** or *******. And the number of People does not match their profile. On the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website, they only have complaints and negative reviews --there is not one positive review, everything shows the lowest rating of one star. On LinkedIn, a search brings up a Computer Programmer profile in *****, ** with no photo, history or details.

They helped me create my account on ******* Never gave me login information for my own business. When I asked them to give me my own company login info they just refused. Now on ****** showing my business but I have no right to control that.

BEWARE!!! We rec'd calls for payment and then a copy of an invoice that they say was signed - but not by me or my staff. They are now calling/threatening legal collections multiple times a week. This "advertising" does not generate any business nor does any person in my geographic area use this or have ever heard of them. SCAM!!!! Had to leave 1 star for review - actually should be -1

HUGE SCAM - BEWARE - ************ should be shut down immediately

Just like everyone below, received a call to update information. ****** later started receiving phone calls asking when payment would be made on the invoice. Multiple requests for a copy of this invoice - "collection department" finally sent a copy of the invoice along with "links" showing how they increased our appearance online. This invoice had a due date of the day that "collections" called. Called daily wanting to clear up this matter with a credit card otherwise it could be sent for collection adding an additional $300-400 charge to the $700 invoice. Started calling multiple times in the day, claiming that the computer chooses who to call and that they don't have a choice who is called. ***had to add 1 gold star to leave review**

SCAM - never singed up , registered, never heard of the company and received an invoice in the mail out of the blue.

SCAM! They contacted me to collect information pretending to be updating/confirming an existing listing for our company. At the very end of the call they quickly mentioned a 750$ fee to update the listing and an invoice would be sent.
