“Star SMS” or should I say STAR SMS PTY. LTD…..
After a number of emails from the public and phone calls from Star SMS on our mobile phones we have decided to look into this matter of STAR SMS PTY. LTD.
Star SMS have been contacted to comment on their ethics. More to follow in the coming days…
As some of you may have noticed, we sent out an email to previous visitors of the 4wisemonkeys visitors. Our email software made a giant mistake and also sent out a list of the email address of our previous visitors by mistake
We sincerely apologise for this!
Well it’s been one year since the world heard about the tragic death of an Australian Icon, a hero, a legend… I’m talking about Stece Irwin of course.
The pain for most is still as raw as it was when the news first broke.
So it’s been a while, we are all well aware of this. Today I bring some good news - some damn good news regarding out “friends” the scammers at DC Marketing.
“A MOBILE phone marketing company has been fined almost $150,000 over spamming practices that affected thousands of people over the past 12 months.”
Poor DC Marketing, this is such a shame. It is thanks to the public and media who supported us through this campaign against DC Marketing that this has happened.
….The monkeys may have something big coming up soon, so please keep in touch.

Before I start my rant, let me explain I am acting on behalf of my partner, and this activity happens at other service providers as well.
My girlfriend is the account holder on the Dodo dial-up account at her mothers place. Around the end of October, Dodo contacted the mothers house in regards to an offer to upgrade to broadband internet….
In no way do we condone illegal activity, against DC Marketing or any other company in any way, shape, or form. We understand as consumers you are upset, but making illegal threats is not the way to win the fight and you only hamper the efforts that we have put in here.
Complain to the government agencies (see the phone scams page for more information on how to do this), to get your point across.
Update: Earlier today we posted a few articles, that we later withdrew due to legal reasons, this information included reports that were wrongly directed towards DC Marketing. We apologize for the misconception this may have brought. We are currently confirming a lot of our information with Optus and will post what we can once we have something more substancial. If you feel you can contribute to these posts then please feel free to stop by our forums (click here for link).
