A warning to all "Folk" busness people and anyone else it might concern, a "company" calling it's self, Data protection Agency Services, whose return address is, Atlantic House, 1st. Floor, 56 Ramsbottom Street, Crew, Cheshire, CW1 3AN. is currently running a scam. This involves sending out final demands for regestering under The data Protection Act 1998. This official looking form brings notice of fine upwards of £5000 for failing to regester and a demand for £95. It is TOTALY, FALSE and FRADULENT. Your £95 will get you nothing but a sinking feeling in your stomach. If you recieve one of these forms take it to your local trading standards office and police station. cheers

Click 'Ere for the official site of the UK Data Protection Register.

The scam Mac Tattie mentions seems to be a varient on the old "international Telex directory" invoice.

The cost of registry is £35.00, and the forms are easy to fill in, no rocket scientists required.
