Included was this form (click the image for a larger version):



Notice the emphasized line above - but if you look at the itty-bitty print on the contract - because that's what it is - you are agreeing to pay these coprophages €990.00 per year for a three-year period. If you submit the form and then decline to pay, they start the threats and intimidation. It would seem that enough people pungle to make it worth their while.

One google search found me this page, which indicates that the scam has been going on since at least 2009. Pretty lax enforcement of this kind of thing over in Europe, it seemeth me.

It's plain that the Dutch language will be well-represented in Hell.

"Yea, well did Mosiah say, who was our last king, when he was about to deliver up the kingdom, having no one to confer it upon, causing that this people should be governed by their own voices—yea, well did he say that if the time should come that the voice of this people should choose iniquity, that is, if the time should come that this people should fall into transgression, they would be ripe for destruction."

-Book of Mormon, Alma 10:19
