We have received a good number of emails from accounting-seo.com demanding payment for what we thought was a free service at the time from the EU. 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 a company. Joanna, or whoever is using that email, replied with an attached signed IO and sent an invoice.
But, accounting-seo.com is a new website created approximately 6 months ago and hides it domain information. Their website is not real, it is a splash page with no information about the service they offer. The information on the page belongs to their hosting provider, who creates a default page until their customers create their own.
The Website www.accounting-seo.com
This is what the people behind the website do, they trick you into signing up for a free service, then send an invoice requesting payment, threaten legal action if payment is not received to frighten people into making payment.

I am sending this formal message describing the situation of your company’s financial account, unsettled for now three months.
Three 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 of EUR 1129,-, 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 27/08/2018 and was penalized on the 22nd of October, 2018) – 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.
