		<description>Hi Teda
You asked if anyone has ever been taken to court from Ireland? I can answer this quickly: 

&lt;strong&gt;There is no evidence of anyone anywhere having been taken to court (Ireland included)&lt;/strong&gt;

As to how long it takes to give up... well, it&#039;s not an exact science but, as a rule, they&#039;ll probably keep mailing out demands to you for years to come. You need to be prepared for that. There&#039;s nothing you can do about it, unfortunately. To the scammers, it&#039;s just the price of an A4 letter and a stamp but it&#039;s worth it if they can hook you in and stand a chance of a €1,000 payoff). If you communicate with them, I promise you they will increase their bullying. Don&#039;t bother with the angry &quot;I know you&#039;re scammers, you nasty people&quot; letters - to them, this communicates that you&#039;re afraid and invites them to increase the bullying some more.</description>

		<description>I also fell for this with Expo-Guide and signed the form thinking it was a free update of our company details. A month later, well after the cancellation period, I received the 1st invoice and sent a registered letter that day saying the form had been signed in error and we wished to cancel the order. Since then I have received another invoice with a late fee and have since been corresponding with them by e-mail trying to argue that their form says &quot;you can revoke the order within 10 days of subscription&quot; but they do not clarify a date of subscription so they cannot say that I did not cancel the order in time. They are not accepting this though. 

My latest correspondance was today where they are starting the legal jargon: 



&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;If you wish to clarify the legal validity of the order issued to us in the courts, we ask you to appoint a legal representative admitted to the competent courts in Mexico D.F., since the contractually established legal place of jurisdiction is Mexico City. We would like to call your attention, however, to our willingness in principle to settle out of court and are available to you or your attorney for discussions in this regard.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;



I was starting to get worried until I googled them and all the information about it being a scam came to light aswell as this brilliant website. 

I have one question though: I have read it several times that they have never actually brought someone to court as it would not hold up in UK, USA, etc but has anyone from Ireland any feedback on how they got on as this is where I am based. Also, how long does it take before they give up. I&#039;ve a feeling this is just the start of a very long, annoying battle!</description>

		<description>Hi Ravi. Yes, they&#039;re too busy bullying people over the phone to keep ACTUAL records, so the numbers change all the time. Funny isn&#039;t it.</description>

Sunny (who worked for these crooks) said a little earlier:

&quot;I used to work for them.....and they aint never gonna bother taking any of you to court, all bullshit, don’t pay..&quot;</description>

		<description>Hi

Our Marketing Manager was fooled by this scam back in 2008, at first we &#039;engaged&#039; with the company ie: sent a letter from our legal department but after reading your website I decided to just ignore them - approx 2 years of letters....taking us to court.....adding on the second years fees.....negotiating for us to pay one year and then they would forget the full bill.....letter from dodgy looking legal company.....phone calls, all were ignored.... and guess what....nothing happened! and eventually the letters just stopped!!

Anyway a couple of weeks ago one of Sales Managers was fooled....AAARRRGGGHH!....Here we go again!!  What worries me abit more about this one was that it was sent to his home address, where on earth did they get that info! This time I will ignore it from the start!!</description>
