european city guide

ChinnerZinc web site design agency, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Zincweb Internet. Why this picture? So that you'll ask "why this picture?" Is it a handstand upside down, or someone jumping to reach higher? You decide. But at least you'll remember it.

European City Guide Scam

Not strictly internet related, but we're feeling righteous.

An organisation called European City Guide is sending out forms explaining that its records are being updated and asking for businesses to confirm their details.

The form says the updates are free and then asks for a signature. However, small print at the foot of the page reveals that a signature is only required for an insertion into their guide.

This will set you back an unrighteous 917 Euros (about £611). Report it to Trading Standards or OFT and be practical - use the form as a firelighter.

	Thanks for visiting: If you are paying more than £50 per year for basic web site hosting services, perhaps we can help there too.

Similar scams and schemes include United Telecom International Trade and Business Database - an official looking piece of paper from the Czech Republic resembling an invoice (we received one placing us in the category of Child Delivery Clinics).

If you receive any similar letters, please let us know and we'll include them here.
