If A Business Is In The Yellow Pages...

Question

...or on Yell.com is it definitely legit?

Answer 1

No. They don't check the legitimacy of the company, they just list it.  

Answer 2

Every business that has a business phone line gets listed for free in the yellow pages.  Nothing is definitely legit except death and taxes.  

Answer 3

If you are concerned about the legitimacy of a particular business, contact the local Better Business Bureau or even google the business. Word of mouth about a "scam" tends to travel quickly on the internet and you might find blog or message board posting about the business. Good luck!
