It has been quite a while since I posted here. Not much new has occurred since the FTC shut down the original Yellow Page B.V. scam. However, there is now a collection agency in Germany that is trying to convince people to pay off on this old Yellow Page scam. Several people have commented that they have received notices from a company called Direct Factoring in Hilden, Germany. (MBE Huas PF 364 Hofstrasse 1 40723 Hilden Germany) This company is claiming they are debt collectors for Yellow Page Marketing BV and demanding payment. They have also been reported to have threatened to negatively affect people's credit rating if they don't pay. This latest wrinkle has been reported to the FTC, and to European authorities. I do have a relatively poor image of one of the letters (shown here) but it would be helpful to have a better copy of this German collection letter to share here and with the FTC and German authorities. Please fax a copy to (949) 200-4500. All personally identifiable information will be redacted. Together we can stop this latest effort to fleece honest U.S. business people!
