I just got to tell this story from years ago. My business name starts with S&S. In the phone book (remember those, LOL) I was about 2-3 listings away from Silk & Satin. I did not realize this until I started getting phone calls from all over Texas from ppl looking for their money. I got calls from hospitals for unpaid bills. I got calls for all kinds of unpaid bills. The ppl wanting their money called me and asked for ppl I had never heard of. Names such as Diamond, Cherry, Monique, etc. So I knew something was up.
I finally got a call for a reference for "Jasmine Smith" and I talked the caller into giving me her info. She listed her address as Silk & Satin. I did not know this until I visited the address.
I realized the ladies had seen my biz name near theirs and were giving out my info because I was legit and convenient.
I walked into Silk & Satin, surveyed the situation and asked to talk to the person in charge. No one was in charge. So I explained to the ladies on duty the situation and asked if I could post a note asking them to stop giving out my info as their own.
I did this and never had a problem since.
