European City Guide scam
Monday, 14th December 2009 Letter to London local newspapers Sir I wish to warn readers to be careful if receiving a letter from an outfit called the European City Guide (ECG), which appears to offer small businesses a free or cheap "listing" if they fill out a form. The company then demands thousands of pounds from whoever signs up and threatens them with court action if they refuse to pay. Because ECG targets Europe's major cities, Londoners are especially at risk. More information and advice can be found on the website, 'Stop the European City Guide!' at www.stopecg.org The site advises victims not to pay any money and how to respond to their letters. I am working with colleagues here in Brussels to get action from governments to put an end to European scams like these. Yours sincerely, Syed Kamall Conservative MEP for London |
