![European Business Register [EBR]](/images/business/45h/129887/european-business-register-ebr.gif)
The EU Business Register is a semi-existent database of EU companies.
When I tried to visit it at the time that I wrote this, on
http://www.eubusinessregister.com/ I could not do so because I was
blocked from accessing it by my antivirus software!
The people behind this ask businesses to enter their information in the
"EU Business Register" with the slogan "Updating is free!". What they
don't make obvious is that hidden in the small print (or near-invisible
print) is an agreement to sign up for 3 years entries in the "register"
at a rate of EUR 995 per year.
Anyone signing up to this "agreement" will soon find themselves being
pursued by a "debt-collection agency" for payment of the first
instalment of EUR 995, with a threat of having their credit rating
damaged and having legal action taken if they fail to pay up. They
basically bully people who have unwittingly signed up into paying.
As you can see from attempt to access their "directory" above, there
is ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE IN BEING LISTED IN THE EU BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
Today I received an email from the scammers with an attached PDF form
for filling in - they ask that this be signed and faxed and mailed to
them... this is important as they will then claim that this is a legally
binding, signed contract.

I've had the same experience. When i requested them to prove that we've signed up with them (we live in South Africa BTW) they produced some document that someone in our company signed, although the signature does not match the actual person listed as the signatory!
I also did the same. They are keeping ask me to pay EUR 995 per year. The email was sent by Joanna / Accounting Department . I refuse to pay, She replied email "We will continue cost collection procedures"
Please give me suggestion how to deal with them.
Hello, the same situation with us!
We often receive the questenaires which are free of charge but here we have the smallest letters where they expect to be payed 995 EU!
After I received invoice I asked them per Email to cancel the invoice but they refused.
Now 5 months later they want our company to pay 1129 Euro for NOTHING!
What can I do?
We also receive application which are free of charge but we have the smallest letters where they expect to be paid 995 EU
After I received invoice I asked them cancel list in their directory, I will report government of China.
Now they want our company to pay 1129 Euro, It is distinctly scam company online.

hello i have a same problem pls check this page :
https://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2017/8/15/beware-of-eu-business-register-for-20172018-scams/
Somos una clinica de cirugia plastica en Madrid y tenemos el mismo problema. Vamos a ponerlo en manos de nuestros abogados
For small business, it may be too expensive to hire a attorney to deal with this scam business. Any one has good idea?
Other option is Forget about them, block this email in our case helena@accounty-eubs.com and perhaps if we go and report to the police they will stop
As since i send them this threat, they don't bothered me again
Hope will be useful for someone
I don't think you should bother with them. They are a scam based on bullying. they have no address, no phone numbers, and no last names. They are ( according to their own site) incorporated in Nevis WEST INDIES. their collection company has an address in Amsterdam which corresponds to the consulate of Seychelles !

I don't think the police will be interested, unless they have actually taken money off you. Even then its clear by previous responses that these "people" have a network of fake addresses - so as always the best bet is to ignore them. When they are operating an illegal scam, are they really going to take you to court ?
I had the same issues with EBR. They claimed all was listed clearly on the form but the way it was done was to catch people. They state in the email "free to update", on top of the form "free to update" and this plays in your mind. You are less careful and it is all you see. not the Then "Only sign if you want an insertion", not the bottom of the form. We signed the form thinking it was free but we did not know we were registered until we receive an invoice 5 weeks later. Every time my emails to them were rejected and I could not access their website because my antivirus would prevent me. They were not responding to emails and I gave up reading that it was a scam.
When I received the invoice, I contacted them and immediately someone from Accounting replied and played dumb. I was asking to be removed from their database and the lady named Ms Andreea was saying she did not understand and eventually said to me "since you refuse to respond to me, I am going to stop replying to you".
Basically the lady was projecting because I was the one saying she was refusing to respond to me. I even asked for a contact name to forward to our lawyer for legal action and she was refusing to respond and ended by saying this was her final email, she would not respond to my email anymore because I was refusing to respond to her. I told her several times what I wanted (to be removed from her database) and the reasons for it but still according to her, I was ignoring her requests for explanations.
I know it sounds silly to be caught in this thing. The form at the bottom does list the cost but anybody could be caught especially when they start by saying several times "free for updating" several times and then "to update your company details please print company name etc" and return the form. Anybody could be caught that is why they do it. In my line of work, I am thorough and read everything yet I was caught here.
Please give us tips our to get out of this because we can't contact them.
