A client had an some interesting post yesterday.
It claimed to be from the Data Protection Enforcement Agency. Claimed they where in breach of the Data Protection Act (thats real) and a payment of £135 would register them under that act.
Actually if you do need to register under the Act (if you hold identifiable personal information abut other people on your computer for business purposes(thats a rough idea of what the act is about)) it costs £35.00.
The DPEA is a private firm ripping off business in the UK.

Here is a rather long link

The letter is designed to look like its from a government body.

UK developers should watch out for this one on behalf of their clients.
