Euro Business Guide / European City Guide SCAM

Euro Business Guide sends out spam emails of the following nature:



Subject: European company registration 2007/2008

Dear Sirs,

If you like to have your company registered in the registry of European companies;

Please print out the enclosed form (PDF file), fill it and send it back to:

Euro Business Guide
P.O. Box 2021
3500 GA UTRECHT
The Netherlands

Updating is free of charge!!



Attached is a PDF form that one can fill out.
Again, you will notice that the form states in bold "Updating is free of charge".


However, when you read the tiny small print, you will see that you are actually signing a contract for 3 years, and they charge you 990 Euro per year, see enlargement here:



This is a variant of the same scam as the "European City Guide".
If you mistakenly signed one of these forms, DO NOT PAY.
As the following web sites show, these scammers are after easy cash and not after law suits, although they use bully tactics to intimiate their victims. Check out Stop The European City Guide and Stop the European City Guide. In fact, they have already been convicted of fraud. To evade the law, they just move from one place to another.
