there is more on this at http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/834379

I really urge people to read this site as it covers in detail the very subject of this thread

(sorry if I appear to be "hogging" this thread at present but I feel that this is just so important.)

The ACMA has received a number of complaints about this mob already.  They are called   E-Protectionz.   

The ACMA is monitering them and gathering evidence to support an investigation.   The Company has been advised of its obligations under DNC legislation.

Nice to know some-one is on the ball.

Cheers,

Sheba.
