I first saw it reported by ABC news (the national broadcaster) by reporters who live and work in the area. That’s a strong signal that it’s true.

I checked if there was a registered business and there was. Details here: https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?abn=68196068066

Seems believable to me, when I first read it I thought “Typical Gold Coast!”

I believe there’s a business registered... in fact, that’s the point, right? This is an ad.

The name was changed only a few months ago. Before that, the company name was Freedom from Debt Collectors.

Like I said, I’m sure there’s a bit of truth in this. And I’m 100% sure he’ll take someone’s money to show up at a funeral. I just feel like somethings off in general.

Yeah, I get a 'fake it until you make it' vibe from this. The stories just seem a bit too "pat", like simplistic morality tales.

Wow, thanks for this.
