No, we do not have a specific page or thread that details scams or dodgy companies. Doing this can have serious legal ramifications.

However, sometimes during the course of discussion about a product or service, some people may reach the conclusion that it is "dodgy" or a "scam" depending on the evidence that is presented.

If you have had a negative experience with a product or service then you are entitled to post about it, but I caution you against making accusations of something being a scam unless you are able to clearly demonstrate that it is.

Interestingly now some of the scams may now disappear. A scum bag, low life was arrested in Sydney today. Apparently he was responsbile for scams in the vicinity of about 17 million that netted him much stolen money.
