This may be old news now, however, I have just received a 'Final Notice'
from a Data Protection Agency Service in Warrington asking for £95.00 as my
organisation is not registered. For £95.00 they will be really kind and
register for me! I don't think so!!! Also, there is no contact phone
number given to query this - how convenient.
I have contacted the OIC and they informed that this is indeed a scam and
is being investigated. Apparently there are about 10-12 of
these 'agencies' in operation.
Hope this helps fellow DPO's.
