promising anything as far as I see it. They claim that they
can get you listed and if they dont succeed then you will
get your money back.
It reminds me of a case of fraud we had here in Denmark some
years ago. There was a company that claimed they could tell
pregnant women from their handwriting if they would get a
boy or a girl. All you had to do was send them a letter with
a test of you handwriting with 50 DKR (about $15). If for
some reason the company was wrong - then you would get you
money back. So about 50% of the times the company would be
right if they just told half of the women that they would
get a girl and the second half a boy. And thats in fact all
they did. Eventually the company was brought to trial and
lost it all.
There is no doubt in my mind that a service like the one
World-Inet is running (promising a Yahoo registration) would
be illegal here in Denmark. I would never use it myself -
there is NO way any company can give guaranties to get
listed in Yahoo!
