Yellow Page Scams, How can you avoid them?


 
Have you ever seen one of these come across your desk? Have you ever filled it out and mailed it back? How many invoices do you get annually for scams that you or your staff have unknowingly signed up for? Be on the lookout. The Yellow Pages does not own the rights to the walking fingers so anyone can use it in their advertising. To many people, this looks legit and everyone wants to get their name out there, and wow, only $500 annually to be in a yellow pages. The problem is, these yellow pages do not exist, therefore bringing you no additional revenue for the money you just laid out. ALWAYS read the fine print on anything that comes to your office asking for money. Once you or your staff have signed on the dotted line, you are on the hook. Please share this with your staff and other dentist to make them aware of this scam. As I come across other things I see in my clients offices, I will always share them on this blog so stay tuned for more tips and advice from Franek Consulting. Until next time, have a productive day!
