    Seems the Trading Standards Office was well up to speed - got a swift reply saying that they knew of this scam, knew the company and it was currently under their investigation.

    Data Processing Protection Corporation

    I seem to remember reading something about these guys some time ago but the details escape me.

    I received a letter from them saying that I had to pay £95 to join something reference notifying the Information Commissioner when processing personal information, unless exempt.

    Failure to comply has a fine of £5k.

    Is this just a blatant attempt to shake me down for some cash or is there really a necessity to join up. Seems they've taken their time getting to me if the latter.

    Needless to say of course, there isn't a telephone number on their blurb to ask any questions.
