A company here in Ireland tried a similar scam recently. They hooked up a

direct marketer's database to a web front end and then sent invoices to

13,000 companies advising them that they had a FREE! web site but had to pay

an annual charge of �85 for hosting. The press were averted and the sharp

practice was starkly outlined in a number of national dailies and business

magazines for the benefit of the invoiced companies. The company itself has

since retreated into the shadows of ignominy, suitably chastened by the

experience. If this company is trying the same thing, perhaps you could

adopt a similar approach.
