Don et al,

This kind of thing has been done before (see below) ... contact the ACCC
about the scam and INA to fix your accounts.

Regards


Josh

Registr ation


Folks,

I have a contact at the ACCC in Sydney who is investigating this scam.
She'd like to her from anyone who has received a dodgy invoice from National
Internet Registration (www.nir.com.au).

Email me off the list and I'll give you the details.

Regards


Josh
