YP Corp.

Jefferson City, MO: A lawsuit was filed against the Internet phone listing service for allegedly tricking businesses in 34 states into paying monthly charges by sending them checks. YP Corp. mailed millions of activation checks, valued at $3.25 or $3.50, to prospective customers. When the checks were deposited, the businesses were automatically enrolled in YP's Yellow Pages service and charged monthly fees ranging from $27.50 to $39.95. Most customers did not realize they were paying the fees because they were collected through phone bills or charged directly to the customer's bank account. YP Corp. agreed to pay a $2 million settlement. (Dec-14-06) [BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT: YP FRAUD]
