Received an invoice on October 1, 2012, dated May 24, 2012 for $599.99. I never would have signed up for this. I did receive a phone call from them several months ago about the bill and was told the only way I could dispute the bill was to verify the mailing address, which I argued about but did it anyway. Now they are threating to turn my account over to a collection agency because they said I authorized the service. The bill states that I have a mini web page which includes a full company description, webpage link, business hours and driving directions. It has none of that on the website. Part of the info that was on it was incorrect. What can I do to get out of this?

- It is a scam. I received the same invoice on October 1. I tried emailing the company and they called saying I must pay the debt and they have recording of me approving it. I remember them calling months ago saying I need to confirm so my boss could cancel his ad and I answered yes/no questions about cancellation and these people actually change the recording so it is yes/no of your accepting charges for ad!! I did research and found their website uspublicyp.com is same as onlinepublicyp.com which has many, many, many complaints on here and on the BBB site. And the same amounts are being requested $599.00 (initial amount they said), $627.39 and $676.80 after "interest" even though the first invoice they send is months after the so called initial billing. Everything I found shows that they cannot do anything to you they will threaten lawsuits etc. but they are so known to be scam artists and have been in trouble under other fake company names that they will not pursue anything beyond threats. Report them to BBB, FTC and attorney general so there is awareness for others of this new fake company name they are trying this under.
