It's just that TSFX bought the domain www.boredofstudies.com.au to re-direct to their website to trick people who typo'd the BoS website. It's a pretty common marketing strategy actually...just buying domains similar to the target market you're appealing to and hope that they type in the wrong domain.

lol tsfx is so dodgy.. or maybe someone just bought it, re-directed the domain to their site just to make people think negatively of them ( in addition to the "scaring" people into attending their sessions).

Oh thanks I get it now. as a TSFX employee and avid fan of VCE notes and not a big fan of BOS I do everything I can to promote you guys. I really don't believe there's anything dodgy in this though-it's just the cut throat nature of surviving in business

tsfx is the most f***ed up s*** i've seen in a while.

they provided me with 2 set of exams. they don't give solutions until their trial exam correction sessions. wtf?

okay now thats bad enough i decided to attend just for those solutions. ITS F***** BOOKED OUT ... they run a sh** of methods classes yet they only have 2 trial exam correction sessions -.- . wheres my justice?

talked to the b**** on the phone. nothing she can do about it. i am going to slap the f*** out of someone at tsfx one day.
