Not sure how long this has been operating, but have been bombarded by spammers trying to flog Tiscali braodband recently

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/nm/started.html

Looks like they're employing the Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) pyramid selling methodologies - always a great one for scammers and spamers, who "need" to recruit people into their "downlines".

Has it got so bad for Tiscali they have to use such dubious and potentially illegal tactics to get broadband clients ?

Strange tactic, not the kind of thing you expect from a company like Tiscali. Time will tell how it goes I guess.
