Traders who frequent this site:
Beware "phony" invoices from companies who claim to have entered your details onto their website directory.
I didn't, but my details appeared on line and they sent me a bill for 50 quid.
If you do enter your details, there is no mention of the fee, just a "Click here to register your details" button.
So in other words, anybody can go on the site and enter your details and you'll get the bill.
My guess in my case is that they did it to generate revenue. Not all people question a bill. "Oh, I've got a bill here for advertising" and they will pay it without a second thought.
Anyway, I've rung TS and sent the co. a letter insisting on proof of me entering into a contract with them, unless this happens, I will pay nothing.
