Press Release Body = Hawthorn, Australia, 30 September 2006---OzFreeOnline is
advising its loyal members and the general public to beware of spoof-emails and
scams that have been plaguing most classified companies. Recently, there has been
an increase in fraudulent activities, most of which are due to online classifieds
companies going lenient and soft on spammers. This may be freedom of expression,
but disgruntled consumers are protesting.

And they have a good reason to. Even just a few hundred dollars worth of one-time
deception for every average online shopper adds up to billions of stolen money each
year. And each year, hackers are getting more devious and sophisticated. Something
the Australian-based OzFreeOnline is prepared to stop.

OzFree is optimised by a select group of search engine specialists, web developers,
and designers, who make sure the site is always spam-free. Even so, OzFreeOnline
advises its members to always err on the side of caution, since online shopping,
admittedly, always poses risks. While OzFreeOnline disavows any responsibility from
transactions that occur between members, it is dedicated in its mission against spam
to protect members.

Also, in face of recent fee hikes in other online classifieds, OzFree remains free
since Day One. Membership is free and posting ads and pictures for cars, real
estates, etc, is free. All OzFreeOnline asks is for everyone to be vigilant in the
battle against Internet scam and spam. Ideally, buyers should personally meet up
with sellers to inspect the goods. Or they can entrust their payment to an escrow
company (such as www.escrow.com) who will turn it over to the seller once the buyer
has received the goods in good condition.

There\'s no such thing as too much caution, especially in online shopping. As such,
OzFreeOnline is calling out to its members to report any abuse they see on the site.
