Kansas Consumers to Be Reimbursed After "Live Check" Scheme

A California company owes more than 350 Kansas residents over $380,000 due to a fraudulent and misleading “instant cash back offer” from Yellow Pages Inc., according to a story in the Wichita Business Journal.

Yellow Pages Inc. sent out thousands of what appeared to be rebate checks to Kansas residents – but in actuality, they were sneaky schemes to commit unwitting cashers to a contractual agreement. In effect, those Kansas residents who cashed the check were in reality agreeing to a subscription to Yellow Pages Inc.’s online service directory and a $49.95 a month recurring charge.
