Spanish scam guide company «European City Guide» (ECG) was «honored» by the leading Swedish newspaper «Dagens Nyheter» recently.
The paper broke a story about fake invoices and scam guides on a two pages feature.
In the issue of August 26, the newspaper writes that the ECG belonged to the five worst companies in Sweden in the year 2009.
That year alone, 309 complaints about the «free update»-scam of the ECG were received by Varningsinfo.se.
The company «European City Guide SL» was founded in Spain by the Swiss holding company «Maiwolf Holding AG» in 1998.
Several Maiwolf Holding companies now face charges on fraudulent advertisement and other offenses in Switzerland.
At the beginning the company was set up by Ricardo Daura Pages, but for a long time the ECG was fronted by the Spaniard Francisco López-Peláez Torres.
He made quite a name for himself and the ECG – especially in Belgium, documented by the leading French-written paper «Le Soir»:
