I'll never tire of hearing about "nigerian" scammers being scammed.

Unfortunately, while the Australians (ACCC) are able to act as per what I wrote on my blog entry, the NZ ComCom can't see a breach of the Fair Trading Act.

In my view, not acting on these things will work as an invitation for the scammers, who are currently being?

I had thought misleading information (or at least hiding) about the true price/intent of a service had previously been deemed a breach.

There's a related service that I keep seeing advertised around the 'tubes. It claims it will tell u who ur 1 true love is, or similar.

Here's my prediction for anyone who signs up: You'll meet your one true love at a court-ordered budgeting advice workshop.

Personally I don't see a reason why this sort of service should be allowed at all.

Careful Rich, you might start questioning some aspects of capitalism and the Black Helicopters Will Come For You!
Soon we will be thinking wistfully of the "Nigerian" scammers, I got an email from Burkino Faso that offered me the chance to be rich due to someones traffic accident.

I've consulted my astrologer and he sez venus is in mars back-yard for a barbie of monkeybrains, jupiter popped over the road for some fags, RB is in vietnam, the moon is demi-ascendent in the watery personalities making accidents and rambling conversations with lunatics likely, the tide is slack on?

The libertarian in me tends towards the view that people are as entitled to waste their time and money on such services.

However we could benefit from far stricter controls on the promotion of such 'premium' text content so at least the vulnerable mentally deficient members of our society are?
