Australia’s ACCC Pursues Printer Cartridge Company Director for Deceptive Practices.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has launched legal proceedings against two companies, Beacon Products Pty Ltd and Zandox Group Pty Ltd, along with Beacon’s director Warren Skry. The ACCC alleges these parties engaged in misleading and unconscionable sales tactics targeting businesses across Australia. According to the ACCC, the companies made unsolicited phone calls falsely claiming to confirm existing orders for printer cartridges and cleaning products that customers had not placed. They also misled customers into believing these were ongoing contracts with no option to cancel or return unwanted goods. These actions reportedly caused financial and emotional distress to business owners. Beacon and Zandox were liquidated in April 2023, but the ACCC is seeking penalties, injunctions, and disqualification orders against Mr. Skry. This case follows previous legal action taken against Mr. Skry’s former company for similar deceptive conduct. The ACCC’s move highlights ongoing efforts to protect businesses from unfair sales practices.
