In referance to: Media: Triple J

We now have confirmation that 4 Wise Monkeys will be speaking with Ronan from Triple J (107.7FM) on 'the hack' today (Monday 19th June) between 5:30pm and 6:00pm (although it is expected to be in the first half of the show).

You can listen in online at http://abc.net.au/triplej

I will update this post with a link to Triple J's podcast of the interview for those that who may be interested but can't tune in.

This will now be on Tuesday the 20th of June as Triple J's legal team still has to approve the story We will link to the podcast tomorrow for those that miss the show.

If you missed the show you can listen to the Podcast avaiable at  http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/notes/mp3s/mobilescams2.mp3

After all of the recent media attention that we have been receiving I. Gruber of DC Marketing (we can tell that it is I. Gruber making these posts due to his IP address) has chosen to post on 4 Wise Monkeys again.

It is worth mentioning that when interviewed by SMH.com.au DC Marketing denied reports that it was them sending us the request for content to be taken off the website and such. It is however the same IP Address that did these things that is now posting these comments on 4 Wise Monkeys. Draw your own conclusions from that

We have received word today that skelm and I will be interviewed by Triple J in the upcoming days. At the current time we are not 100% sure when the interview will air, though we are asuming it will air during their show "Hack" 5:30pm weeknights.

Earleir in the week, hack hosted a segment in regards to this scam which you can download from their website, due to the huge responce they received they have asked up to speak up on air about the situation - an offer we can not refuse!

The Age has also run an article on 4 Wise Monkeys, unfortunately they have our link wrong but I have contacted them and this is being fixed very soon. You can view the article by clicking here.

Jano Gibson of SMH.com.au has done an excellent article about DC Marketing that covers everything from the structure of the scam to 4 Wise Monkeys involvement in informing the public. Click here to read the article.

Following an article by 4 Wise Monkeys yesterday (click here to view) about the practices of DC Marketing (selling full call list onto businesses) it appears that Call-Australia has been taken offline.

Facts about DCM:

• They are selling this missed call service!
• Claim they can contact ALL mobile numbers in Australia
