Has anyone else had dealings with www.europa-club.com ? You submit a site to which they ask for a "back link" After 3 weeks I removed the back link because my site wasn't included. I then started recieving demands for money €158.72!! With their "urging costs" it is now up to €178.72. Threats of legal action, investigation etc.... Legally there is no case. Under German law, you have the right to cancel. They do not offer you this right. I suspect the idea is to intimidate people into paying up. Save yourself a lot of hassle, stay well away. It is a scam. [edited by: engine at 6:02 pm (utc) on June 14, 2002]

Heh someone must be bored or praciticing poor business you know so many people will pay too thinking they owe it.... Personally I think if they do such things where it did not entail a cost at origional time then demand money id talk to their ISP. :)

It looks a bit rough - <%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %> <% Response.buffer = TRUE %> was appearing at the top of the page. :( There very little in the serps so surfers aren't going to spend time searching.

It is a very poorly created asp application. It breaks all the time. It is missing end ifs and end subs all over their pages. They are also not closing their asp tags. I am surprized you actually got the hunk of junk to work. The only thing that does work is the add url piece
