It's not only in Aussie these ....they've been sucking in thick-headed Kiwi's for ten years that I know of as my mate got caught to the tune of 9 grand....someone's idea to take it to a TV watchdog is good as about 5 or 6 years ago scammers both sides of the Tasman stared on a show here and even got 'Punters Choice' involved.

Cheers mate.

Half of my post above got deleted for "unpleasantness" - my only crime was repeating your truthful words quoted above and some instructions on how I maintain and care for my baseball bat. It won't be long before Moderators will have us all whispering prayers and lighting candles any time we post. But I digress.....

So of all forum posters it just happened to be you who then posted ALSO calling Renzo a "sucker".

I have reviewed all of your posts. Clarify a number of points for me please.

What exactly did you buy? ie software, computer etc etc
Did you receive what you paid for? Think before you answer the question.
How did you pay? ie credit card, cash - you mention earlier about re-financing the mortgage.
Did you sign a contract to purchase, and were you provided a copy?
What have you done with whatever you purchased?

In the meantime take bacos advice and discover who exactly it is that you need to prosecute, locate their whereabouts residentially, discover what assets they have recorded in their name, consider taking action.

With any luck most of this post will be left in tack.

It's like doing today's cryptic crossword using yesterdays clues, remotely possible, but highly unlikely that it will be solved.

Curiosity is definitely killing the cat....... will someone please tell me who the offending party are/were?
