Scam. I've had many similar over the years - most common being offer of

I point out to them that if I work for anybody they pay me, not the
other way round.

No one uses these stupid directories anyway. There are *very few* places I
look beyond google (and it ****es me off when half the hits are to stupid
directories!).

These a Thompson (blue business phone book), Yellow Pages, and a few
price comparison sites like kelkoo et al (not relevant in this case).

So save your money, and concentrate on word of mouth, a good google ranking
and a few local ads.

It always puzzles me why tradesmen drive about with stickers on their
vehicles, saying something like "Find us fast in Yellow Pages".
If you know their name you'd find them quicker using the Phone Book,
without adjacently listing all their competitors.
