"From: Joanna/ Accounting Department
Subject: Legal procedure initiated / unpaid invoice no. 222243 due on 01/07/2019

I am sending this formal message describing the situation of your company’s financial account, unsettled for now three months.


Two weeks after our Credit Department has forwarded your file to a debt collection agency, they have received a positive answer and your account will be taken over and handled legally.

The legal fee they charge will be added to your current debt if your company’s financial account remains unsolved.

Unless you have reconsidered the non-payment of the invoice issued for the registration service your company has requested and missed the settlement for (invoice was due on 01/07/2019 and was already penalized) – please contract your Legal representative and provide his/her contact details for our records and future communication which will imply legal procedures of the above-detailed debt recovery process.

Best regards,
Joanna, Account Manager"

don't worry, just show him this link. He will shut up.


I did this 2 or 3 years before.

Good Luck.

Mike

Hi, Which link? Thank you

Dear Mike,

Many thanks for your directions, they are very helpful.

Hello, I am from Greece and unfortunately I sign the order with the EU business register 31/10/2018, after sending a cancellation letter 16/11/2018, also I call them talking to a guy name Andreea for the invoice cancellation I receive this letter, what you think I have to do now?


Sir,

Your company's order was placed on 31/10/2018. 7 days later, it was enforced.

The procedure of subscription was finalized and then invoiced - on 12/11 - due 3 weeks later on 3rd of December.

Your fax with the invoice you must have acknowledged by post - sent on 16/11 - is valid for non-extension of contractual period procedures. We will surely consider the option of cancellation, upon your request and according to the clauses of the agreement.

The invoice no. 219795 must be paid.

Let us know to whom we can discuss from now on regarding the payment.

We have not made any errors in the procedures following receipt of your order and we expect the amount to be paid.

Attached the payment reminder issued yesterday.

Regards

Ms Andreea, Account Manager

Please forward the actual email to us for review. But, if the email came from the address listed in the article above, I would ignore them.

Yes the email came from that address, I think I solved the problem in this way,
read the conversation:

Andrea , you are very good... but this is not the correct letter , next time write a better one maybe you gone convince me to pay you . Nevertheless I laugh a lot .
Thanks

Roberto:

Sir,

I am not trying to convince you of anything.

I needed to know with whom I need to speak about the payment - with you as owner of company, I assume, or with the employee who placed the request and asked us to work for ROBERTO TIRANTI.
Your name is filled-in as contact person, but now I suppose this is another error your employee has made.

Have a nice evening,

Andreea:

Yes you are very good , ok give me your vat number to proceed payment .

Roberto

-no answer-

I am online with the bank right now and I am waiting for your company vat number .

-no answer-

If I don't have a response within 5 minutes I consider my insertion as a gift and thank you for that .

-I didn't receive any answer -

I have answered it, and received an invoice. What should I do?

Ignore them.

Good grief this site existed. Now we need authorities to once and for all get rid of these scammers !

Why hasn't any European government has activate Interpol into actions and fish out these scammers?

It looks so pathetic!

e have been getting these emails (see below) regulally and have been ignoring them but today we received a letter from Waldberg & Hirsch with no address on the letter? has anyones got this?

"To Sir/Madam,

We have to remind you the due date for the invoice no. 216077, issued for the insertion of xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx into our Business Register xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx ordered - was 06/08/2018.

Your debt to our company reached EUR 1429,-, as late payment, administration and legal fees have been added to the initial amount of the invoice (according to the attached legal letter dated 10th of December, 2018).

In case of non-payment, our Legal Counselor will issue a 2nd legal letter increasing your debt with EUR 500, - additional legal fee.

Whether the payment of EUR 1129,- is effected by the 17th of December, 2018 the latest, you will save both our companies substantial costs, valuable time and avoid any unpleasant situations created by involving our lawyers.

If no payment is made available by the above-mentioned date, a payment less than the amount of EUR 1429, - will not settle your account.

Attached you may find the scanned copy of the legal letter above-detailed.

Hi,

We have received a good numnber of emails from joanna-accounting-seo.com demanding payment for what we thought was a free service at the time from the EU. (our error).

We made the mistake of responding today asking her to stop threatening us based on the fact we did not recall having an agreement with such as company. Joanna, or whoever´s using that email, replied with the attached signed IO and sent an invoice.

Can you advise what would be the best for us to do now that we have establish a communication?

Regards,

Alonso

I would ignore them. The website, accounting-seo.com, is just a splash page, meaning, it is not an actual website.

Received via email:

I humbly write to you from the [] to lay a complaint about a lady Ms. Sophie who claims to be an account manager at the EU Business Register and has been sending us emails about payment of EUR 995 to have our company name

I posted my experiance of these crooks 24 October 2018. Still getting demands so I replied with this;


THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU ARE RUNNING A FRAUDULENT OPERATION AND THAT ANY AND ALL CONTRACTS ARE NULL AND VOID.

ALL EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM YOU ARE NOW BLOCKED.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CONTACT ME AGAIN.

Copies of this and all previous correspondence has been forwarded to the UK fraud prevention agency and recognised fraud prevention websites.

Sirs,


I am sending this email to forward official information about the documents our Credit Department issues and posts towards your company.


The Notification issued this Monday confirms the procedure of forwarding your debt to be analyzed by a debt collection agency.


The step is followed according to our own policy applied on indebted accounts, considering the lack of cooperation in the financial settlement of your account which is due more than two months ago.


The actual amount your company has to pay – EUR 1129,-.


To avoid further steps and extra legal fees added to this amount, your performing the transfer for the above-detailed amount is the soonest step to be taken.

These crooks have been pestering me for over a year now. I've reported this in detail to the UK Fraud Prevention Agency.

I feel sorry for anyone that's actually paid them but it's so easy to be sucked in by these creeps.

Below is a copy their latest mail.

"According to another payment reminder our Credit Department has issued this Monday, EUR 134, - representing EUR 99, - late payment fee EUR 35,- administration fee have been added to the initial amount of the invoice.

Your company’s debt towards us has now reached EUR 1129,-.

We have informed you of these penalties one month ago, therefore we consider you had enough time to arrange settlement of EUR 995,-.

Thank you for confirming receipt of this email and acknowledgment of the actual amount you owe us.

Thank you all for posting your comments. I have been issued a letter threatening legal advise and I wasn't sure if I should pay them.

Reading your comments has made up my mind that they are just a bunch of mobsters and I will not be paying them!
Let's all stand together by not paying them, they can't pay for legal fees against every one of us!

O yes, a big scammer and they want money that's it. Set of mafia.

I signed their contract without reading carefully. The contract period is 3 years. I paid 2 years and this year I will pay the last one.

I will pay if they are not exist or they are illegal. I am a manager and I have to read everything very carefully before signing them. This is my punishment - 2985 € total. This is a very good lesson to me. Do not be silly, do not sign everything before reading carefully.

Thanks to this illegal company , I lost 2985€uro, but learned very much. They prevent my bigger loses in the future, thank you.

Just consider that if you pay them, you are supporting a crime organization that will harass other companies and people too this way.
Please, do NOT pay them anything! You already paid them and the lesson has been already learned. If you want to get rid of that money, you can also offer it for organizations that do good, and not to this bunch of criminals.

Do not pay anymore money and contact your bank to see if you can recover your money.

We also signed that paper whithout checking more about them. We thought is free of charge. And now receiving e-mails. But I am checking, there are not company code, no VAT code or any legal registration code.

salve anche noI siamo cadutI nella trappola cosa devo fare garzie

-->

hi, even we have fallen into the trap, what I have to do, garzie

If you have given them your credit card or other financial information, contact your bank for help, otherwise, just ignore them.

I also fell in their trap and they are regularly sending me mails asking for money.

FAO Mr Tewodros Mengistu / Accounting Department / Management of ESERVE
Consultancy for Business, Investment and Conveyances

To Sir/Madam,

We have to remind you the due date for the invoice no. 209335 - was the
18/12/2017; the invoice was issued for the insertion of ESERVE Consultancy
for Business, Investment and Conveyances into the current edition of our
Business Register that Mr Tewodros Mengistu ordered on behalf of your
company.

Your debt to our company reached EUR 1929,- according to the legal letter
that was sent on the 4th of June, 2018 to your company by our Legal
Counsellor – find the letter attached.

Whether the payment of EUR 1429,- is effected by 15th of June, 2018 the
latest, we will exempt the legal fee of EUR 500,- added – as an additional
fee - to your debt.

Considering we have yet not been able to settle the account and the legal
procedures are to begin within the following two weeks, we once again remind
you of this unsettled debt and the unpleasant consequences to follow in case
it remains opened.

In case you manage to effect the payment the following days, the transfer
will be made to the bank account stated on the legal letters.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

we have a same problem than others...
we sent this document (big mistake of our new collegue) ... after one month came invoice.... now we received official letter form Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd. ...
we have not paid anything till now... because we found this page.... fortunately ...
but we are still in stress if they can do some legal action ......
I was reading that this company doesn´t exist and people form EU business are same than people from Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd. ...they have got an official web side but they don´t exist :)


I was reading about them so much that I I am not still persuaed what to do .. we have doubt what to do....please give me advice , we do not want to have any problems

Thanks

"In case you do not transfer this amount on time, you will be thrown by letters from the collection company, demanding payment of the contract amount, legal costs, late payment penalty, etc. In the end, a huge amount of money will come running."

If, it so happened that you, after all, filled out and sent the form - in no case, do not succumb to provocation and do not transfer money. This is just another scam to get as much money out of you as possible. The letters continue to arrive regularly, but I send them to the basket without opening them.

Just ignore the scammers or thieves, do not let them frighten you.

How to ban them to continue disturbing?

Please what can I do ?? they send me continuously emails ... that I have not paid invoice and they will take some legal actions... (500euros additional legal fee)

Block their sending server.

Do not let them frighten you, just ignore them. These scammers use scare tactics, which is to frighten people so much that they do what they want them to do.

This company have been invoicing our company since the end of 2016 repeatedly with emails, post and faxes, which were ignored. just last week they sent the following email:

"We are advising you, with this email, to contract a Lawyer to be properly represented as soon as we will forward your debt to a debt collection agency – within 2 weeks

We are also informing you that EUR 800,- extra legal fee applied by the debt collection agency we have involved will be added to the actual debt you have towards us (listed on the attached) – as part of the agreement not respecting the clauses agreed upon the day the request was validated".

has anyone else had one of these emails regarding debt collection?

Yes, The Cancer Association of Zimbabwe. They just send us an email with same information, but extra charges are $300

I have seen a lot of these fake emails forwarded to us by other online users, who wanted to verify if the emails were legitimate or not.
