Just thought I'd let those that have business names registered that there is a bit of a scam going on. A company called "Registry Australia" have been sending out letters to business name holder that are close to being due for renewal with a type of invoice. Apparently they do renew your business name but they charge more than double what it is worth. The normal for 3 years is $88.00 but they charge $190.00 and apparently they claim to not be breaking the law to charge a few for being so helpful. I thought the was something a bit fishy but had already clicked the Bpay send and I'm trying to get it stopped. I rang the contact number and asked for the invoice to be cancelled which they claimed they would do but only after the payment has gone through. I also called my bank straight away to cancel the payment but I could be hit with a fee. I keep you posted.
PS. Don't catch Covid it's not much fun.
