New scam offers businesses chance to have companies listed in yellow pages

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota is issuing a warning to businesses to be aware of a Northland scam involving “directory listings.” The BBB says complaints are being filed across the U.S., claiming a business with a Duluth address is offering other businesses a chance to have their company listed in a ‘yellow-pages’-style directory for a “fee.” In many cases, that fee has been paid in vain, as the BBB believes the directory does not actually exist. An address for suspect company is a P.O. Box at an area UPS store.
