Hi,

You will all be pleased at the latest Newsnight investigation (link below if you missed),

2.5 years after Techo and I started the campaign here in the UK, and largely due to Techos efforts, it looks like we will finally get proper action on this scam.

Dairy house yard is actually a bit further west than the google maps are showing, its actually next to the Haynes Museum, if you look next to the race circuit you’ll see a yard with quite a few milk tanker trucks that is Dairy house yard which is operated by Gregory distribution but i also beleive they rent out office space so its possible ATSC had an office there at one time, the phone number above is not a local number to that area as the dialling code should be 01963 (or possibly 01935)

Hi Jon,

Well it did not take too much time for another miracle detector to be ‘invented’, the smell of that $85mill that ATSC scammed from Iraq must be overpowering, the latest cowboys to try their luck are:

Hi Jon,

The scamsters are trying to fight back against the negative publicity from The New York Times article. They have done multiple postings under different names all saying how wonderful the ADE is. But sadly for them they all used the same IP address and have been further exposed. see the following links:

You will also find the real address for the scamster McCormick on that site.

The authorised company in Lebanon is actually, Prosec,
