Nov 4th 2011.
Seems this mob is now targeting Australia as well. I was just looking at a photography competitions website from the UK, and a link suddenly took me to a “call this number within 4 minutes to win a $3000 holiday at Calypso Quay Resort in Florida.”
To win, I only had to pay $898 right now to confirm my booking.
Director Kevin Morris couldn’t hang up the phone quick enough when I informed him that I don’t beleive in using credit cards, and that I certainly would not be giving out my details over the phone, even if I had one to use. SUDDEN CLICK, SUDDEN SILENCE.

[...] I’m going to try and pretend that no body reads this thing. Not a big stretch, I know, but stay with me (or don’t… you know what I mean). This site isn’t for marketing my business, or showing off my photography, or giving soapbox speeches about the latest political travesty. I’ve used it for all these things in the past, but it never felt right. I don’t know what I have this thing for. But I do know that I enjoyed writing on here the most when I was writing purely for myself.
