I agreed over the phone to let yellow pages publish an add for my small business. I called back the very next morning and told the salesman I did not want to go through with the add and do not publish my business online. The salesman told me I was bound by our recorded agreement and published my name against my wishes. Now ihave a message on my phone from McCarthy Burgess & wolff wanting to collect $1015 for an add I did not want published. I am in Mass and I did'nt sign anything, it was a recorded agreement. Should I be worried?

have you heard the recorded agreement yourself? you have not sig

have you heard the recorded agreement yourself? you have not signed anything so they dont have a written document to prove their demands. the next time they call you up, ask them to play the recorded agreement. see if you have mentioned your name and contacts. if no, then i dont think you have anything to worry about. even if your name is mentioned then there may be many by the same name, right? tell them that you are filing a police complaint against them and see what they do.

I'm thinking there's a 3-day [federal] 'cooling off' period for any phone solicitation. Anybody know if that's still in effect?

It may be overkill,but it might not hurt to send a letter to Coakleys office stating what tanspired.
