Our business received a call from BWP (Business White Pages) to simply confirm information of our business and then was asked if we would like to add our website at no cost to us, I figured that would be okay because our business site is listed in many places and this would be on the business side of the white pages site. The representative named *** ****** said there would be no cost to confirm info and add our site. At the end of the call she mentioned they would send us an invoice with no purchase order number for $599 and I told her she just told me we wouldn't be billed for anything, then she turned around and said that there was no cost and she didn't mean to say we would be billed. A few minutes later I called Business White Pages **************** line and spoke to a gentleman named **** and he pulled up our info and told me that she had signed us up for a membership to be listed on their site. I told him no and what I was told. He went on to mention that we did not have to worry about anything and that they would handle the discrepancy. If I didn't reach out we would have received a bill and that bill would NOT have been paid. This is not the way to do business. Please do better BWP.Business Response

Unreal! As a business owner, I am appalled! This shady company called us and attempted to "verify our address and business info". This company uses this method as a way to scam unsuspecting business owners and workers. Two weeks later our company received an invoice for the same $583.95 as others are sharing. We are not paying this fraudulent bill. We would like to make sure this is not charged to our business and then wish to have no further contact with Business White Pages. This is a shady business!Business Response

We received a phone call asking to verify contact information for the company so it could be printed in the white pages. This was done. ****** was repeatedly told that we would not be paying for any product and the caller verified it was just for printing verification no financial obligation. Two weeks later our company received an invoice for the same $583.95 as others are sharing. We are not paying this fraudulent bill. We would like to make sure this is not charged to our business and then wish to have no further contact with Business White Pages. They are using deceptive practices to make money.Business Response

I have tried to be updated on white pages. My account will not allow me to update my listing. Actually I want to be listed in white pages. They will not help by their phone number **********. I have also messaged them thru their website. Yet, they have my credit card info & tell me I can only research other people. I deserve some positive name information on the internet. Someone has removed everything but my one negative with a real bad picture, which, should be removed.Business Response

Please note that this complaint was not directed to the appropriate establishment.Firstly, we are Business White Pages not White Pages and have no affiliation with the White Pages. Secondly, we enlist only commercial data. We do not enlist information of residential individuals (name, address, date of birth, phone numbers, etc.).

This company called to request a verification of address information for our daycare. Seemingly no big deal. Then proceeds to call back, email and request payment of $583.95 because we renewed a listing. Coercive and deceptive and misleading communications as if we are delinquent and payment is now due.. payment was made unknowingly by one of my employees. If a refund is not issued, I will be disputing the charge as fraudulent business activity.Business Response

We received a phone call to verify our business name, address and phone number for the Business White Pages. We received a disc and an invoice for $583.95. Someone from their organization named **** continuously emails and now calls to get this invoice paid, all we did was verify our information we never agreed to payment or a listing. This company sets you up into believing that they are just verifying your company contact information, but that is not the case, they take verification of this information as a sale and sends you an unsolicited disc and invoice. It is a scam, it is wrong and it is a poor business practice and harassments.Business Response

We hope this will be regarded as a satisfactory resolve to this complaint.

This company called at the beginning of the year to verify our address and phone number, I thought nothing of it. Then I was sent a directory and let it sit there for months because I had no use for it. I then received an invoice for $583.95. When I tried to explain I never authorized this they said I had received the book and it was too late to return it. I never authorized them to send me a book in the first place. Every time they call I try to get them to void the invoice and take our names off the list but it has not happened.Customer Answer
