Hmm, I also have a record from his office - from a different assistant -
we'll just have to see what comes back this time.

I'm not going to forward the email that I received to a public list, that
would be rather rude.  I have to say that the advice "if you think you have
been defrauded go to the (relevant) police" isn't particularly startling,
nor is it indicative that the MEP or their office consider that there has
actually been a fraud.  I'll stick to my original statement that I know
nothing about the facts of the case.

 I don't know Keith - but then I'm on this list as a security person, not as
a domain entrepreneur.  Although I used to be an EasyNet customer ...
