INSIDE KNOWLEDGE

OK folks. For your delectation, delight and dissection we present the fruits of our labours. Boy, have we been detecting!

There is a lot of information available on the detector frauds, but it is fragmented across many blogs, sites and sources. Hence why we have tried to pull it together into one resource.

Hopefully this will help to provide a reference for future avoidance of these and similar scams, a research resource for anyone interested in the details, and a prompt to further action against the fraudsters.

There are four documents making up the full pack.

N.B. IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT LITTLE OF THE INFORMATION HAS BEEN THE RESULT OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH. THERE IS A LIST OF SOURCES ON THE HISTORY, AND MANY THANKS ARE DUE TO TOO MANY TO MENTION IN FULL. PARTICULAR THANKS ARE NECESSARY TO LUMPY LOW, JAMES RANDI, TECHOWIZ, BBC NEWSNIGHT
