Business ProfileforSkyline Publishing

Skyline Publishing reached out to me at the beginning of January asking if i would like to place an ad in the Salisbury City maps for my company. I asked them to send me a quote/ invoice for the work that would be done. They sent me an invoice in the mail. I received a call from Skyline publishing on January 30, 2023 of them demanding that I pay the amount of $250 and if I did not they would send the charge to a collection agency. I responded with I never gave conformation that I wanted to place an ad with them. There is no formal documentation that I agreed to payment, no payment information was ever exchanged. The representative of Skyline became angry with me and hung up abruptly. I called them back and they eventually answered me back. I later got off the phone with them and called the local advertising representative for Rowan County/ Salisbury, NC. She confirmed that Salisbury does not do any business with Skyline Publishing nor is there as Salisbury City Map. She also explained to me that the city of Salisbury gets calls often from different companies wanting to run advertising magazines in the county, they usually turn them down to avoid the headache for the small business owners of Rowan County. I gave the representative for Salisbury Marketing the phone number of Skyline publishing, she proceeded to call them and told them this is no way to operate a business and Skyline Publishing does not have and never did have the OK from the city of Salisbury to run advertisement. If the amount of $250 is sent to a collection agency I plan to dispute the charge.
