When I saw it was a scam, I got back to them and said cancel it. Fortunately I did not sign it.

I was a victim of such crooks couple of years back. Those days they used to send mail from Switzerland. I ignored them whenever they sent threatening letters, but it was a nightmare, because they threatened they would blacklist our company in Europe, and no one would do business with us later, if we don’t pay them. They even had some collectors call us and ask for payment. At last I threatened to sue them and got a lawyer. Then the kept quite. Now after a couple of years, getting this email brought the bitter memories back again. I am in US now and this company is targeting us in the US. If I receive another email, I shall contact Federal Trade Commission and complain against them.

I am so thankful for the people who have set us this website, as now these evil people cannot hide like before.

Below is the email that I received just today:

I think the best way to teach these guys a lesson, is to let them think we have fallen to their scam, let them spend time and resources to send reminders, and we should tell them we are going to pay soon. Just keep them hungry and then never pay them. Exactly the same way, world got rid of Nigerian scams couple of years back!
