If it were not for scams the internet would not be so Exciting!<grin> I
guess if they come to your home to break your leg...then pay up! Otherwise,
why support their scam. Multiple emails pretty well give away their
position as to honesty.
If you know someplace to report their scam then by all means do so. Be sure
to tell them as well.
My username and password and secret question were recently stollen on Ebay
and it took all day to get it fixed. Fortunately I did not loose anything
except my time. It was fixed before they had a chance to sell anything.
Scams abound. Scoundrels too!
loose no sleep my brother!

> They SUPPOSEDLY will exchange links with you to your own website for free
IF you put their link on your website within three days. If you don't put
their link on your website within three days, they will charge you $45 per
year. We decided to exchange links with them and posted their link in ONE
DAY. Since that time, they have been sending us threatening letters, saying
we owe them money because we did not link back to them within the three days
(which is untrue). So, after realizing this link exchange was probably a
scam, we decided to eliminate the links from off their website and ours.
However, when we got to their website to log in to delete out account, it
says we OWE them $25 dollars just to delete our account with them!!! The
letters they send to us come from numerous email addresses (probably fake),
all with a .de ending, the sender's name keeps changing, and when we try to
send them an email, we get no reply. But the threatening letters keep
coming, about one
> a month.

the $45 dollars + interest for the year's fee, then give them the $25
dollars to get out of it? Should I ignore it? Report it? We did exchange
links with them within the time required but they don't seem to care.
