Actually, I believe this was a case of paginas amarillas spam. Maybe they
can feed them to alpacas?
Unsolicited print yellow pages spam is not unique to the USA.
Credit Card Fraudsters
I've had a few credit card number stolen over the years.
Taxi drivers using paper transaction forms are the leading suspects.
This hasn't cost me any money out of pocket, but it's still a pain.

Perhaps web access is more sparse in Peru?

@Matt, interesting point. In rural communities, I imagine things are similar to the USA. There are no choices, so there is little need for a yellow pages directory to compete within. And, in larger cities, things break down when choices in the book expand beyond what a person is willing to commute to or a business is willing to drive to. But, I have to say that the book itself was quite small compared to what I would expect to see in a similarly sized community in the USA, so maybe their businesses are more progressive with their advertising dollars than American companies?
