It means that after a long silence Scamiga, Inc are back to their old tricks of Scamming, BullS&**ing and Bullying.

Just ignore them.  :-)

Scamiga?  I love that name!  It's perfect to describe McBill and Fleecy (now could you ask for a more perfect name for a scammer?)

I don't think it'll be long now before the last holdouts abandon the platform and join Nick Veitch over in the linux world.

Woah - just had a sense of deja vu (I saw that black cat a second ago too).

Nick Veitch - why do I know his name?  Did he used to write for Amiga Format or CU Amiga by any chance?

He was a writer for CU Amiga, then editor for Amiga Format. Now he's editor in chief of Linux Format.
