Had an interesting letter this morning from DAD Deutscher Adressdienst GmbH.

Apparently they have a directory up and running - Internet Register Ireland

They have my company listed [in Dublin, even though I'm in Wicklow], and want me to update my information for their records. Apparently I can even include three search words for their database.

I then read the small print. Buried in there is the trivial matter, that they will invoice me for the paltry sum of €958 per annum [payable in advance] for the above entry.

Nice one, DAD Deutscher Adressdienst GmbH.

Yay, I just got this in the mail. I always felt a bit left out when others chatted about the latest directory scam but now I can rest easy because I am finally on the spam radar

It doesn't.

It's in the letter, in the small print at the bottom.

Those guys are very smart. You sign it, send it over then you get an invoice. If you don't pay (typical Irish businesses) then solicitors letters starts arriving.
The 1000 euro they charge it will cover all that bull****. I bet there is some legal adviser in the background of that business.
