submission service and search engine ranking company scam

This article is merely a warning to watch out for another SCAM doing the rounds at the moment - we have not seen this one before. They are basically asking for $75 / year to pay for search engine submission services. They make out it is to re-new with them; which is a little strange in itself as we don't actually pay anyone to do this! Anyhow we can see a lot of people falling for this as the amount they are asking is quite reasonable and the whole letter looks quite formal. Anyway don't fall for the submission service and search engine ranking company scam as we are calling it!

Above the letter will be your address details which will actually be yours which gives even more credence to the letter. This information has merely been taken from the whois database which anyone can get - although it is illegal to use in this way.
