BIA IS WARNING COMPANIES FOR FRAUDS FOR INCLUSION IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN AND WORLD COMPANY REGISTERS

The Bulgarian Industrial Association warns of activation and diversification of frauds based on "inclusion" in various European and world business registers. Typically, Bulgarian companies receive an e-mail or through regular mail an envelope containing an invitation for joining European or world business reference books for obtaining a European business or VAT number. The invitation text suggests unpaid benefits. Somewhere in small print it is indicated that the signing of this application binds the company to pay a considerable amount for a year, two or three. There are a lot of fraudulent forms, blanks and fake applications, and almost all of them have European P.O. boxes.
