I stumbled upon a new and relatively under-developed site called Australian Finches during the week. It's a very slick site and quite professionally executed, offering information rather than dialogue. While it's beyond embryonic it's still a hatchling and only offers the experience of one man (but quite successful one if he to be take to his word). I'm all for diversity so I hope his work continues to evolve and improve.

A quick look indicates it isn't a bad site, for beginners and experienced alike. Though obviously beginners will get more out of it. Needs to do some gramatical and spelling work but otherwise good.

Had a look as well, looks OK so decided to register just for the heck of it. Received my notification on hotmail. Concerned that the opening on the message from Outlook/hotmail reads "Be careful! This sender failed our fraud detection checks."

For everyones info

I wonder if I am going to be the "sacrificial lamb?" :wtf:

Just out of interest, is there any more to the site once registered?

Cheers

W.A. landline numbers begin with 089 as a rule. And a mobile no should have 10 numbers anywhere in Australia. So does make me curious.

No, no warnings at all. I have a yahoo email and run Trend as my security and (touching wood) haven't had an issue with them letting me use a site that has been a problem. If any site is a problem Trend shows me a red and white warning page with the reason for the warning and link that says "Get me out of here"

It doesn't seem to fit the profile of a scam site as it seems rather a lot of work to go through to just be using it as a scam or trolling for email addresses.

Still no response from the site owner as to registration though.

From the website....To reach Australian Finches.com by telephone during office hours (Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm WST) please call (+61) 422519509
The WST, would that be a WA number??
