ACCC Takes Site Claiming It Can Cure Cancer To Court

Online charlatans don’t get taken to task anywhere often enough for our liking, so it’s always pleasing to see a seemingly dodgy operator face the music. The ACCC is suing a Western Australian woman who has run numerous sites claiming that she can cure cancer.

The ACCC has begun legal proceedings against Gwyneth Graham, who is associated with a number of sites which claim cancer can be cured — a claim the ACCC says violates consumer laws which make it an offence to lie about the characteristics of a service. The case will next be heard on March 4 in Perth.
