Well said. We agree to all you mention. So this is allowed to happen. Try call Accc or consumer affairs and they might feel your pain but just sympathise. This is happening to honest Australian business people who are working hard to make a living. Somehow convicted fellons are allowed to operate. Usually by having someone else discretely hold their office. After all there are laws to prevent people who have been convicted from operating a company. Right? So how does it happen? For anyone reading these reports you might think "never" though seriously act now and check the "who is" check your domains! Nobody really likes this kind of thing and it's not the best situation to be in. Nobody wants to hurt another business. For businesses that don't abide by the code of conduct, by acting in a dishonest manner it eventually comes back to bite you on the arse. People won't stand for it and rightly so. We thought we were smart sensible business people so why do we get ripped off. Simple, because a con knows we have a sense of trust and loyalty and will at all times sound so charming and almost evangelical about helping you and your business. Quite overwhelming really, they will act like they are your best friend when actually you might not have ever seen them personally. They work to gain your trust first, under a guise of building a good business relationship. It's a bit of a shock to discover the very ugly side. When the alarm bells go off "you've had it" it's not acceptable and let's see what happens next? For anyone else who has been treated with bad business misconduct from this company, so sorry. Please come forward with your complaint and story.
