EU BUSINESS REGISTER

Similar to the old scam, while the email says the process is free, the form that’s attached to it – which recipients must fill out and send back to the company – reveals that those who sign the document must pay close to €1,000 ($1,270) for a period of three years.

This particular scam has been making the rounds for quite some time. Every once in a while, the name of the company and its website are changed.

Other names used for this scam are: World Company Register, World Trade Register, EU Business Register, Euro Trade Register and World Business Directory.

In some cases, the scammers threatened to pursue legal action against those who refused to pay. However, most of their victims said that the crooks stopped after their threats were ignored.

Interestingly, companies from all over the world are targeted. We’ve received reports from Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, USA and other countries.
