"Business Register 2015/2016" and Website -"www.eu-register.org" Scam

The email message below with the subject: "Business Register 2015/2016," which is asking the recipients to submit the attached document with their company's name, address, city, country, telephone number, fax number, email, web address, and contact person, should not be trusted. The website(eu-register.org) that the email message came from, was created a few hours ago. And, all the links on the same website goes to the legitimate: www.eubusinessregister.com. This means that the website: "eu-register.org" is more than likely a clone of the legitimate website, created by scammers to trick people into believing the fake website is legitimate.
