If you received SPAM postal mail from listingcorp.com, please don’t send a check unless you contacted them first. They are contacting clients with invoices for “Website Listing Service” invoices of $65.00. Yeah Right. Please hire a reputable SEO/SEM firm for your business by checking in one of the SEO/SEM directories on-line. Naturally I’d like you to hire me, but here are some other great places to check.
- http://www.seoconsultants.com/ Find people by region
- Yahoo Web Directory for SEO Over 300 listings for USA.
Consider the members of the Google Adwords Professionals program and Yahoo Ambassador program for Pay Per Click. Make sure to check on their status.
While few agreed-on certification programs exist yet for SEO, some are emerging. The difficulty is that the industry changes so fast that most education programs are out-of-date within months of inception.

I too receieved an invoice in the mail from Listingcorp.co. However, I was also charged on my credit card for the same domain name through Yahoo ($49.75). The postal mail was addressed to a Hung Minh at my address. I called Yahoo to credit my account and I also called my credit card company can cancelled my card. Any thoughts? Any help that yo ucan provide will be appreciated.

Hi Bud, really sorry to hear you’ve had such hassles. I can’t really help in any specific way to your particular situation. Make sure you use the fraud protection department of your credit card company anytime you need it - that’s what they are for.
You may want to start using http://answers.yahoo.com/ to ask questions about things you receive or questions you have. Also http://groups.google.com is an awesome place to ask. You’ll find groups for just about everything. But just keep in mind that these are just people like you in most cases, so treat them as if they were volunteers.
If you get something in the mail that you don’t understand, just use these resources before you act on it… there are tens of thousands of people on there, and you’ll probably get some good responses, and it won’t cost you a thing. More than likely, there will be others just like you with the same thing on their desk!
