Update On Advice:

According to the StopECG.org I found the following information:

“To Pay Or Not To Pay
For legal reasons StopECG cannot issue advice either generally or to individuals on the issue of whether you should part with money based on the document you have signed. All we can do is appraise you of the situation as it stands and allow you to make up your own mind. We hope the notes below are of assistance.

World Business Directory has companies on its books who have, or are disputing the validity of its contracts.

The debt collection agency used by the sister companies appears to no other function than to bully people in dispute with these companies. Threats of legal action have not been followed up and to date we have no evidence that anyone has been taken to court for refusal to pay.

Based on past rulings against similar documents this contract would almost certainly fail to stand up in a court, however you must accept that as this exact document has not been challenged yet there is a small risk involved with refusal to pay. ”

While there is no assurance that the process will be painless, other companies have also filed complaints against this company.

Hi guys, I have also fallen for this scam. When the first email came through with copy “data control” sheet (document that I signed) and invoice I replied back saying that I would not be paying. I tried calling their offices and like the other lady that posted got through to a general “serviced office” type reception. A foreign sounding lady did call me back eventually, stating “do I not read contracts..” and then saying that she would be handing it over to their legal department. I have now had an email from them stating “This will be the final notice before your file will be send to our legal department, who will then submit your file to the Arbitration Court of the Czech Republik.By signing the contract, you agreed to this legal procedure! This legal procedure will add more legal fees to your account. It would be in your best interest to pay your outstanding invoice immediately. Please submit your payment within 3 days.” According to their mail I have incurred a late payment fee of EUR 99 and an admin fee of EUR 35.

I will be taking the advice given above. However, can anyone shed anymore light on this? What feedback has anyone had from OFT and FBI?

I’ve been silly & signed up for this & am getting threatning emails on a daily basis to pay up.

Should I reply to them & let them know that I know it’s a scam or should I just ignore it & hope they go away?

Am somewhat worried as my boss will deduct any money from my wages, luckily I have not passed on any bank details.

Please help me.

RE the WCD demands on people for 980 euros - I live in Scotland and my company has also made the mistake of signing one of these contracts. I have noticed that the signature is now supposed to be ‘binding’ on arbritation in a Czech arbitration court, has anyone gone this far?

We have just fallen for this too. Looked legitimate and FREE to list so we did it on feb 4th and today (23rd March) got the invoice to be paid within 7 days for €980.00. We are not going to pay either and will be sending this info to the office of fair trading too.

Has anyone got any feedback to what happened afterwards?

Just received the same email with an invoice for the same amount. I am sending over the details to the office of fair trading and the FBI as shown above. They make it appear that you will get listed for free in their site and then bill you latter.

You can also set ul li{ list-style-position: inside; } to have the bullet follow the indent of it’s associated content rather than sticking to the outside of the margin. I believe this property is set to outside by default.
