I hope that the same will happen to me also

I signed the form back in July, when I returned from holiday I saw the invoice. I tried to contact Ramona by phone but she wouldnt speak to me just continued to send me emails demanding payment. Luckily have understanding bosses, when I spoke to them and explained they just refused to pay. But I was still a bit concerned about the letters, faxes and emails being received.

Thankfully I found this website, I have continued to ignore all correspondance received and have not heard from them since the beginning of December.

PLEASE GIVE SOME ADVICE!!!!!!!
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I work for a small company, times are hard anyway I know we cant afford to pay.

How can companies still be a able to get away with tricking you into such contracts.

Has anyone paid?

Has anyone finally been left alone after not paying?

My boss sees each letter that comes in and I know it will be my job on the line.

A scared young lady in need of reassurance.

I will be sending a letter to all those address’s today.

I think Watch Dog need to take this up

He reports back to the Parliament in January and the Commission will also have to report on what they have done to kill off these scams so it is very important that you all write to your MEPs
here is a link telling you how
http://www.stopecg.org/#mep

Please do it now, or at leasrt print this off and have it in your in tray! This lessens the chance that it gets forgotten.
Thanks,
Jules

A lot of us is suffering health problems for their pressure. I´d be interested on creating a group in order to contract a lawyer in Utrech and go ourselves to the court in order to:

1st- cancel the contract. The contract is clearly a fraud.
2nd- Claim this people for the health damages suffered by most of us. I would bring a certficate from a doctor for depression caused for bulying.This case has created a loss of concentration in my work with a huge economic cost.

I will be very happy to spend some money to go against these criminals. I think that if we gather 20 companies and go against them, we can create them big problem with a little expense per company.

Is anyone interested on creating the group?.

I´m from Spain and I know a group of local lawyers who has a correspondence with a netherlands team.

Anyway I´m shure that there must be some other victims from netherlands or belgium and will be easier for them to organize the contact with a lawyer there. We could open a bank account and send an amount of money to be fixed in order to defend our rights.

I don´t put any confidence on the politics to arrenge my problems. I normally have to arrange them by my own. And I feel better when I start moving instead of suffering the presure doing nothing.

I don´t know if you can contact me throught this page. Anyway if it is possible please include my email: magadursl@arquired.es

Almost 1 million euros got.

Please pause a moment for consideration of what I suggest next, because no matter how vile this Andreea woman may seem, sending abuse gives here the advantage, far better to take a deep breath and take your tragic story to the newspapers and TV. Funnel that anger into a day of press releases and phonecalls and hit them where it hurts – with negative publicity.

Every time someone reads the name of one of these guides they are less likely to sign in error, every time they hear a story like yours and find out that these people bully and threaten but NEVER go to court they are less likely to pay.

So please use what has happened to help others

Here are the names of the scam guides run from the office where Anreea works

EU Company Directory
Euro Business Guide
European Business Connection
World Business Directory
World Business Guide

try to get them all named when going to the press

Please also report your sorry tale to ALL the suggested complaint addresses we have listed here
http://stopecg.org/eu_company_directory.htm

One letter, just CC it to all of them
Yours,
Jules

I’ve no reason to disbelieve you, and it sounds like a very sad story. Unfortunately some people on this planet of ours don’t really care about anything but making a fast buck. The company this post is about is obviously run by such people. What goes around comes around, and some day they will get their just deserts.

Thanks for posting, and very sad to hear about your colleague.

So now, these bastards are sending spam to my domain to all sorts of random names. I’ve had 37 copies of it this week. I’ve started sending firm then firmer then rude then ruder and now downright obscene replies, all to andreeab@eurobusinessguide.net. This is the woman that sent all of the invoices and got the ’solicitors’ on the case. She has replied asking that I stop sending her obscene emails and threatening to report me to the police (??where) but I will persist. I suggest that everyone do the same and she’ll get some of her own medicine back. That said, I have better things to do than deal with these jerks. They are utter scum playing on the conciousness of decent business folks. I can say without doubt that if I lived anywhere near their building, I’d become a full blown terrorist for the five minutes that it took to torch their building!

im from Russia and like most of u i fell for this scam about a month ago. i have been receiving their ‘reminders’ several times since then. personally i have no worries regarding their threats but i just feel bad that i will have to explain all this shit to my managers and account department.

if anyone can give advice on how i can shut them up, please, comment here. unfortunetely, i doubt i can get any advice from the local authorities as they are not really helpful here in Russia.

many thanks

all the best,
Lisa

Would be good just to pass it onto someone who could progress on this legally.

Oh, I am so relieved to have found this forum…I am just getting my online business started and I have been advised by so many online business owners that it is good to link up with with other sites to get as much traffic to my site as possible…which is why I filled out the FREE UPDATE form…which I have since discovered is a TOTAL SCAM!!!

Andreea has only just started emailing me on a regular basis, but now that I have so much ammunition from this site I am just going to throw it back at them! And I am not going to pay!

I will keep you updated with how everything goes!

I’m stressed that I can be so stupid, but like many others with a small business you sign up to many free directories to get your name out there and I was oblivious to such trickery…

Thanks for this site – it’s comforting to know I’m not alone and can be reassured that I won’t lose any money. I just have to deal with the endless threats that have already started. I only received the letter yesterday and already today they have sent a reminder email.

I will write off letters as recommended at http://www.stopecg.org/eu_company_directory.htm but do I also need to send a request to the Business Guide to cancel the contract or is there no point in this?

I will be calling the ACCC (Australian Competitiona and Consumer Commission) today which is part of the Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce.

Any other Australian businesses that can advise what they have done?

I direction by the UK trading standard and our NZ equivalent not to pay so I am choosing to ignore the demands and hope they go away but they are relentless and I have been doing this for 8 months while they put late payment fees on my account and most recently they have put my directors name to the demand notices as a further scare tactic even though it is my name on the contact for the original free data form trick in the beginning. They make me sick to my stomach.

Esu vienas is auku Euro Business Guide ir Euro CIty Guide is kuriu gaunu nuo Sausio 2009 laiskus grasinancius su augancia saskaita ir gasdinimus, kad atiduos mano saskaita teisinem institucijom.

I am one of victim of EuroBusiness Guide and Euro City Guide, and keep getting the e-mails from January 2009. My advice is: NOT TO PAY (NO DOUBT) and ACT IN YOUR COUNTRY INFORMING ABOUT THESE COMPANIES THROUGH YOUR COUNTRY GOVERNMENT , YOUR MEMBERS AT EUROPARLAMENT AND PUBLICATIONS IN YOUR COUNTRY. We got to act against these silly-rude companies, WHICH MAKE A LOT OF PAIN AND LOSS FOR PEOPLE. Let’s make a list of victims (e-mails, Names, Country) and fight against them in court. Please send your e-mails/names/country to me to: videofoto@takas.lt Lithuania

I.e. If you receive a World Business Guide form, complete it with the full details of Expo-Guide (for example).

Let the feelthy scumbags send each other threatening letters.

They wont take you to court because they dont want to reveal themselves.

Really dont worry about these guys – if everyone ignores them they’ll go away.

So far I’ve received a couple of reminders by fax and email.
All our efforts to explain the situation to them had the same results like yours…

Looking forward to your comments from your guys that have gone beyond the stage of just receiving 1-2 letters from their collection agency!

Until now, the legal threats have been quite subtle but just about a week ago we received a letter from W&H – it says we have to pay within xx days or they will send us a SUBPOENA.
This is something new I guess?
