Scamming - Fraud
The website www.taxresidence.info, which the owners claim is a European Law Company based in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is untrustworthy. The fake website was created by scammers to trick online users into paying them thousands of euros by promising to provide them with European citizenship (passport) so they can move to or live in Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium or other European countries.
I have received hundreds of email spam messages attempting to trick me into visiting the fake website (taxresidence.info). Below is a sample of the email spam.

Received via email: "During 2016 I was bombarded with emails from a fake company trying to get me to register in a European buisness registry. I also saw actual letters from this fake company too written in Slovene and sent to Slovene businesses. Anyway, these emails have now stopped, but the latest: 'Dear Sirs, Happy New 2017 Year! We congratulate you with this nice Holiday and we wish you and your relatives to be happy!

Received via email: "I received one of those letters too. It was so obvious though that something was amiss, as the English was so bad! This latest one even more so it seems!"
