ACCC freezes assets of US office 'scam'

ACCC freezes assets of US office 'scam': "ACCC freezes assets of US office 'scam'

The Federal Court has frozen the funds of an international office supply company based in the United States after the corporate watchdog branded its operations as a scam.
The court has ordered Florida-based L&L Supply to compensate customers and to undertake corrective steps to prevent illegal conduct from recurring.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said the Miami call centre would target Australian businesses offering them packaging tape either at no cost or at very low prices.
The ACCC said L&L Supply representatives would tell its Australian targets that their father and owner of the business had died recently or that he had been a good friend of a senior executive of the target company."
