Arbitrage Scam Websites Targetted in Australian Crackdown

The Sydney Morning Herald ran a story today (below) about the investigation being conducted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) into Australian websites making ‘too good to be true’ claims. Arbitrage Betting investment schemes, and the over-promising over-priced Arbitrage software companies were mentioned in the investigation, alongside other regular scams like anti-ageing rip offs, other get rich quick schemes, expensive ‘free’ mobile phone services, and genealogy rip offs.

No companies being investigated will be named until after the ACCC finds the company is in breach of trade practices – I look forward to seeing numerous companies which we have discovered and posted about here on SAG being named by the ACCC.
