Oh this is outstanding, after chasing off the dodgy Charity hardcore sales outfit, forestersfundforchildren.org.uk and the ropey police mag, guess who else fell into our Fake Listing Honey Trap.. Good old Yell.com
I suppose we should be flattered that the so called brand leader has had to resort to targeting businesses that have signed up with My Local Services.
They hit 2 of our test sign ups within 10 minutes of listing, so anyone who has been hit recently with a Yell Sales call, I can only apologise, and reassure you that the only contact details they have had are publicly displayed telephone numbers.
We haven't and will never divulge any email address information to any outside party.
Have spoken to Yell, and they've apologised, now waiting for it in writing and assurances we don't get hit again!!
It's getting worse but a company like Yell?!? Simply disgusting

Dont worry steve if they dont get us from here they will get us from somewhere else.... not ur fault. I do wish they would learn to take NO for an answer though instead of just getting the next puppet to call back 5 mins later 
I know exactly how you feel about Yell Trena - last year we had to get shirty with 'Lovey' from yell who just wouldn't take no for answer - shame he didn't live up to his name
Yell are tanking, massively. They were trying to sell me advertising a while ago. I got them down to a sliver of what they first wanted, but their numbers (traffic) was so weak I even turned that down. They also lied about how much traffic they got. Once I told them I had an un-capped hitwise account and was looking at traffic for their industry they shaped up LOL I think they were promising me 500 impressions a month for a mere
Just had a full official apology from Yell, who have ensured me that they will never again target any new sign ups on My Local Services. So I'm happy the matter has been resolved. We will continue our occasional fake listings, just in case somebody else falls in to our honey trap!  |
