A quick search on ASIC and Equifax results Hypernet Services PTY LTD,
Showing a Permanently closed on google with an address in Linfield NSW
(Same Director ID). Place doesnt look like where this kind of service would
operate from.
Looks like they move around alot with 6 Registered locations in the last 8
years.
Equifax report shows varying history of previous companies unde the
Director ID, Doesn't look good, But i don't have access to see more than 2
I would certainly be steering clear of this company.
