If you get a call from Yellow Page Resources requesting that it’s time to renew your ad, be very careful. Make sure you do not agree to anything or else you will find yourself receiving a bill for $500 in the mail for their worthless, overpriced service.
Unfortunately this deceit recently happened to one of our clients. A receptionist received a call stating that it’s time to renew their web based services. The sales caller first flustered the receptionist then convinced them that if they did not verbally authorize the service that everything would be turned off. Since they thought these services pertained to their existing account, and a boss was not around to ask, they approved their services. Within a few days they received an invoice for their rendered web based services.
When the invoice arrived, our client called Yellow Page Resources immediately to try and fight the charges stating that nobody authorized their services. The manager at Yellow Page Resources then played back the phone conversation to prove that the receptionist did in fact give authorization. Ultimately, they ended up paying the $491.45, and then called back immediately to cancel the account. The word around their office now is to never authorize anything on the phone again without prior approval.
JVF Consulting hates to hear horror stories such as these. Our recommendation is to NEVER accept an offer that requires your verbal approval on the phone, no matter who is calling you.

Corigem® Animal Products has announced their official spokesperson, leading equine behavior expert, Monty Roberts the "Horse Whisperer".
Los Angeles, CA September 30, 2011 Corigem® Animal Products, LLC, an international firm and animal healthcare company dedicated to providing the highest quality of raw propolis available, has announced that it has entered into a new marketing partnership with Monty Roberts, horseman and author of From My Hands to Yours and seven other books.
Monty Roberts was approached by one of his daughters, Laurel Roberts, about superior formula that assists animals in healing from a variety of frustrating dermatological conditions, including bacterial, fungal (yeast and ringworm), external allergic and auto-immune skin issues. Monty immediately began his own experiments on his farm, Flag Is Up, on horses and animals. He began to see some amazing results of healing all types of fungi and lacerations of the skin on the horses and animals. He was so impressed with the fact that not only was it unbelievably effective but a completely natural and botanical product. For these reasons he began applying it to his own physical ailments, rosacea and dermatitis. He immediately had complete surface relief of each affliction. He continues to use Corigem® daily on his own personal being with continued success.
Propolis is natures antibiotic, a natural protector, produced by bees for over 40 million years. It has been called the strongest natural antiseptic known to man and kills bacteria, fungi, and viruses on contact. The healing properties of propolis come from a combination of resins and essential oils produced by bees to protect and sterilize the hive. These constituents interact with human and animal chemistry to soothe allergies and skin ailments, inhibit bacterial infection caused by burns, cuts, scrapes, and build immunity to sore throats and respiratory problems.
As part of the marketing partnership, Monty Roberts appears on the Corigem® Animals website, advertisements, product labels, Twitter, and Facebook fan page. Monty Roberts is also prominently featured in all marketing materials including brochures, newsletters, and print material.
“The power of Corigem® against fungus is greater than anything I've ever witnessed.", says Monty Roberts spokesperson for Corigem® Animal Products. “The restorative properties of Corigem® are phenomenal whether it is dog, cat, horse or any animal, a cut or an abrasion will be restored to health faster and leave less evidence of its existence than anything I've ever seen.”
Corigem® products are pH balanced and 100% natural. Corigem® is manufactured in a cruelty-free and FDA approved facility and is endorsed by veterinarians, breeders, trainers, handlers, and professional groomers worldwide.
