If you are interested in joining this consumer group, please sign this public petition. vs. Defendent: Maths Worldwide (ABN 59 134 783 663), which secured $4.8bn in terms of total sales under the name "Mathemagic Computer Tutor". Who is responsible for the $4.3bn worth of damage to families worldwide? Because the Company has not provided any names (very secretive), we cannot ascertain specific fault yet. It is assumed the Company has done this intentionally, to prevent managers from being "named and shamed" (a classic public relations move). 1) Grant Thornton, specifically, the receivers (November 26, 2008), Trevor Pogroske and Paul Billingham. We are claiming that the partners did not act with due diligence, and behaved negligently, sending the Company down the same path it went into bankruptcy for. 2) Glenhutt Holding Pty Ltd, based in 2065 (New South Wales), has been active since July 1, 2003. There is a possibility this corporate head was started for the pure purpose of avoiding liability to Mathemagic. This is illegal if this is the case. The ABN of this firm is 81 105 679 641, and the ACN is 105679641. This is the registrar of the MathsWorldwide.com.au domain name. 3) NSW All Schools Track & Field Championships, who are cobranded in a five year naming rights sponsorship, ending August 2009, with the Australian Institute of Mathematics. Doing so, may have been misleading for NSW customers, thus they were negligent in their partnerships. 4) TPP Internet, the firm that hosted the Australian Institute of Mathematics and Literacy Pty Ltd (ABN 48080351597). The webmaster is under Raj Singh (rsingh@mathsworldwide.com.au). The Company is also linked to twoplums.com.au. By keeping the domain mathemagic.com.au, and linking to Maths Worldwide, the new company is misleading customers Maths Worldwide has purchased mathemagic (if it hasn't yet). 5) Back To The Future Education (Australia) Pty Ltd, who seem to be selling a product very similar to Mathemagic, now rebranded to Mathspower. If their product is analogous to Mathemagic, it may be yet another rip-off which we will be taking action against. 6) South African Government organizations, which seems to be where the program originates from (based on the accent of the voice prompt on the program). The South African Government should ensure phony programs shouldn't be able to be exported into Australia. 7) CAMI (Computer Aided Mathematical Instruction) Educational, Advanced Learning Power, Maths and Excellence Learning Pty Ltd, who seem to be based only through the Internet, and are selling the product. Selling a misleading product means you are vicariously liable for damages suffered. The web sites on the Internet are scattered, but include camiweb.com; cami.com.au; aiewa.com.au; orangeeducation.com.au; learnmaths.com.au; future4kids.com.au. The best is probably the Indian CAMI, accesible at speedmaths.in. Web hosts, web designers, and web masters can be legally liable for content on these web sites. 8) Lombard Financing, the Company that charges a 19% annual interest rate, selling the total product over 4 years for $7940. 9) Mathemagic Computer Tutor Ltd (Company No 05642193), based in The Lodge, Darenth Hill, DARTFORTH (DA2 7QR). This Company was administered on March 2, 1997 - only later to reappear in Australia. 10) Laton.com.au, which is profiling the Mathemagic Computer Tutor web site. They also detail a contact address, Level 2 79 Hay Street, Subiaco (6008) in Western Australia. The phone number listed is 08 9489 7600. 11) Damian Bock and Damian Frearson, the director of Mathemagic Computer Tutor AIMWA Pty Ltd, who were fined $1,200 in a Perth Magistrates Court for failing to give mandatory customer information about their rights to cancel door-to-door trading contracts. 12) Renaka Senaratna of Croydon in Victoria, was fined $1,000 in the Joondalup Magistrates Court for not ensuring his company provided mandatory customer information about their rights to cancel door-to- door trading contracts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All material presented on this web site exclusively represents the opinions of its authors.
