Default OT (just) Data protection Act

The message
from "David Hill" contains these
words:

Further to the topic before Xmas,
Today I had a form to register by 1st March
The data protection act now requires every business/organisation that is
holding or processing personal data.
Purposes include record of purchases, keeping accounts, Administration of
membership details,
information and data bank administration
and much, much more.
the cost £55.00.
If you fail to register max fine £500.


Watch your step David..I'm not sure there is a fee. IIRC radio 4
talking about a rip-off scam from a company sending similar letters; the
unsuspecting victim filled in the form, returned it, and the scammers
forwarded it to the right place and pocketed the payment as their
"administration and advisory fee".
