Hey Guys

I am Inspector Visser of the Johannesburg Commercial Branch in the SAPS. Anyone had dealings with www.softwarecentre.co.za?

Heh? The members of this forum are highly critical of dubious ventures such as this one, and would not deliberately expose themselves to illegalities of any kind - see http://www.myadsl.co.za/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2631

I haven't had any dealings with SoftwareCentre, but I have had dealings with another bunch of crooks you SAPS may want to check out - www.telkom.co.za

Funny enough, I agree, but serious I was only looking for victims. If you know about someone my number is 870-5300 - Johannesburg Specialized Commercial Crime Unit - Electronic Fraud Division

We are all victims on MyADSL. We wouldn't be spending so much time here if we didn't believe that Telkom was offering a sub standard product at a criminal price.

In SA when the state owns a company thats "legitimate", its considered business as usual, but turn the cards around and let it be a foriegn owned company or private concern, they would of sent The Scorpions around to check it out, because it's making too much money.

I think Inspector Visser means victims of the www.softwarecentre.co.za scam...

Nice try Insp. Visser. The site in question has been shut down. So I guess you got your info. If this is a joke, it is a good one, but for some reason I think this is ligit. Good to know the police are aware of MyADSL.

That is the one…and a bundled package (Windows XP, Office XP, etc.) for a R 1000-00 :-) Was indeed too good to be true…

"Johannesburg Specialized Commercial Crime Unit - Electronic Fraud Division" that also sounds too good to be true ;)

www.commercialbranch.com | www.419legal.org

[Comrade Borris]

Both those sites look suspiciously similar to the layout of the forum.... [;)]

Conspiracy anyone?

Great to see the boys in blue have a nice looking website, and that you have a presence on the web ;)

I don't even remember how I stumbled on this thread, but I have bookmarked commercialbranch.com - amazing - the info one picks up on MyADSL that you just would not otherwise know about.

419legal.org keeps trying to redirect to mydomainx.com, which has no A record (or much of anything else in its DNS Zone file).

I find it interesting that even the SAPS have decided to host their Commercial Branch site overseas...

Your www.commercialbranch.com A record is:

Maybe they could be more hasty in shutting down illegal game copying websites like www.defcon5.co.za and www.thesourceltd.com...
