That's easy... Do NOT fill and get the rest of them to stop too ! (although that parts not so easy)
 
We have a "deceptive phone listings" law here in Maine, I'm forwarding this to our Attorney General tomorrow to see if it applies to the internet listings also.
 
I would just try to claim all those listings and change them to your phone number. They look unclaimed and generic to me.

I would claim them myself, but I have no idea how to pronounce Millinocket, so I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

you are a featured florist on the left hand side Boss. Do you pay for that? If so, how do you feel about the return?

Hmmm, it's on the right for me... and I did not notice that one... I probably am, some where... I will say, my TOTAL YP spend is $159/mo... BOLD BLUE line listing in column under Florists including our phone and URL and address, plus the web stuff... so... I guess I got a good deal...? It's $11.00 more than last years was...

As to the return, it just came out last month...
 
yeah right side, sorry. $159 just for the internet listing? That seems a little steep. I got gold listing on YellowBook.com for $64/mo. I swap out first place with 1800Flowers.com plus my standard listing. It hasn't launched yet. I think i'll put a $5.00 coupon on it if people "mention the ad" to track purchases.

Have you tried meeting with the other two shops and create a mutual agreement to be WS free? Invite both the owners to coffee and talk turkey. At that point, there would be no competitive disadvantage for anyone and you would ALL BENEFIT!
