Hi,
So I ordered a Christmas gift from a popular electronic store online. When I visited their homepage, they advertise an offer specifying that all orders should arrive before Dec. 24th or they'll send me a digital coupon that takes off a certain amount of money from my next purchase. Well the gift I ordered from them didn't arrive til' a couple days after Dec. 24th. So I emailed the store representatives asking how I would receive the coupon and they responded by telling me I'll get it the next day. However I never received it. So I emailed them another time couple weeks later and they didn't respond. I called them and no one answered. The third time I emailed them they said they'll send it to me as soon as possible. However, it has been a week and I still haven't received it.
So I was wondering what I should do? I know I'm not losing anything. I'm just angry that they used an incentive to get me to order from them, but when I did they won't send me the coupon.
Thank you!False Advertisement?
Call your local Mayor Hotline or you could try the Federal Trade Commission (I think this one). Go to their website at www.ftc.gov and it should list all kinds of things. There's also Federal Calling Commission but that pretty much governs calls and such.
The Better Business Bureau doesn't do a whole lot really. It just lodges a complaint against the company but as far as getting a resolution, you probably will never get one through the BBB.False Advertisement?
Find out where they do there business and call the better business bureau on them . If you google the better business bureau of each state and you could probably get some contact information on one of them.

Are advertisement products on T.V true or false?
Depends on the product. If it's an informmercial touting get rich quick with real estate, it's probably false. So many people think they can relieve their problems and pay a little money to get a course to get back on top. Watch a few for laughs. Then use yahoo and type in that course along with the word ';scam';. You'll see how many people got taken.
If it's a food commercial, it might be a bit of hype but you'll probably get exactly what you see on tv. Although everyones taste buds are different. You may love that new low calorie salad dressing but everyone else hates it.
If it's for some gizmo or gadget, then you have to realize, it works well on tv because they've done it 50 times and only used that footage showing it worked GREAT ! There are also sites you can search on Yahoo about ';as seen on tv'; sites where consumers rate the product good or bad.
Judge for yourself but always research research research before you try anything out ';as seen on tv ';
Good Luck.

”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
reasons and or any arguments against the question”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
Soldiers fight for peace and freedom. Unfortunately, sometimes war is needed for the benefit of people in the long run. I think some wars are justified, I think some aren't. Whether the war is justified or not, soldiers are still brave people who fight for their cause.”Dead soldier’s graves are the best advertisement for peace.” true or false?
True.
They epitomise the futility of war and the senseless loss of human life.
They inspire humility, gratitude and awe for the soldiers lying beneath who were prepared to selflessly give their lifes in the pursuit of offering others peace through fighting battles they did not start.
Ultimately, in war, there are no winners only victims.
For me their can be no argument.
Although I think arguments can be made that it is and is not, my experiences within my country leads me to believe it is not. I think our collective society has become vengeful and fearful and images of soldiers graves and reminders of fallen soldiers do not provoke the same sentiment they did in the late 60's and 70's. I believe our culture has become quick to find the ';evildoer';, and allow our government to punish those we are told are to blame for making us feel unsafe. I think the graves statement may actually feed the collective fear that people live with, as well as insight people to continue fighting because they can not accept the soldiers died without tangible outcome, like ';winning'; a war.

False Advertisement...?
What happens when you fall into a false advertisement?? Is there anyway to get out of it or not?? I mean like to get the real price you saw first...False Advertisement...?
Prevention is better than cure.False Advertisement...?
yes. you ask whomever is in charge to honor their price that was posted or the one you saw first. if they refuse talk to the highest person in the company.
No one is forcing you to purchase anything. Are you talking about a bait and switch? You can contact the Better Business Bureau if you want to,
try to imagine urself with something better...hehe
clarification please?
If you have proof it is a different price, then a lot of stores will price match you.
Not worth the trouble unless it is a really big ticket item.

What is false advertisement?
It is any form of advertising that proves to be untrue.
An example of this--
Often stores will advertise a particular item at a very low price to get customers in (when they don't actually have the item in stock, they explain it as being sold out).
Wikipedia states::
False advertising (or more mildly, deceptive advertising) is an act of deliberately misleading a potential client about a product, service or a company in general by reporting false or misrepresenting information or data in advertising or other promotional materials. False advertising is a type of fraud, and may also be considered a hoax.What is false advertisement?
When the PERFORMANCE of the product or service does not live up to, or falls short of, the results PROMISED in the advertisement.What is false advertisement?
is when a commercial tries 2 sell something and it really isn't what it's suppose 2 b.
When a company tries to sell a product, claiming it can do something extraordinary when they know it can't... like boob pills or anti-cellulite creams.
When a company deceives you about their product.Like it grows your hair,makes your skin blemish free,makes you thinner in 30 days.
If it doesn't effect to people.
That is false for me.
Advertising should effect everybody
Best Reagards
I do believe its when the product hasn't been proven , or pattented, all along those lines....
Breast enlargement.
when the ad is not work
Most of viral ads can be called false, especially if they contain something indecent, violent, dangerous etc. - so the client would never admit it was done under his permission. They usually say those ads are done by the fans of the product or the brand.myspace games

What do I need to do if I believe a company is guilty of false advertisement?
recently purchased a car and I specifically asked about 0% financing for 60 months. However, it was communicated that it was unavailable. I recently received a flyer in the mail stating they have 0% financing for 36 to 60 months on my specific vehicle (FYI I qualify for the rate). However I already purchased the car, and the deal was valid when I purchased the car. I contacted the manufacturer and they said I would have to take this up with the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. I am not getting any help from the dealership.. Do I have a case here? and what should I do?
if the agreement was made on false pretenses that they did not have 0% available, I don't have a case?
What do I need to do if I believe a company is guilty of false advertisement?
i doubt if you have anything. Ads regarding financing are full of weasel words. Perhaps the truth of the matter is that it was not available to you, but could have been available to others. Consider also that the ';false advertising'; you mentioned was not received until after the deal was done, so it could not have affected your decision. Your complaint seems to be that no one offered you o% financing, when they could have. No one has to make an offer to you and you were free to walk away if you didn't like the terms.

False rental advertisement?
I just rented a house. The owner informs me now that the garage is his cousin's home as well as his parents. I am paying for the utilities for all of these people which is also not a part of our agreement. This was advertised as ';A 2 bedroom private home with a pool';. He now says that the backyard is theirs since they cant stay in the garage all day. I cant park in the driveway, and since there is only 1 mailbox I have to wait for them to check the mail before I get mine. (they will give me my mail personally) I am really in a fix. I need to know what my rights are since I have already signed the rental agreement (prior to him telling me about the utilities and my 3 amigos in the garage). I have paid a lot of money for this house and doubt if he has it to give back.False rental advertisement?
Take his azz to court. If you have all that in the rental agreement and/or a copy of the advertisement, use that for evidence this was under false pretenses to defraud you. As soon as he is served his subpoena to appear in court, he may let you voluntarily out of the lease.
If you do not have the advertisement, go to the newspaper and get a copy of the newspaper the ad ran in.

False product advertisement?
do you think most products are false in their descriptions? for some reason i always come upon that discovery. whenever i buy bodywash or soap that says its supposed to moisturize my skin, it always leaves it dry and gross. whenever i buy products that say they will make my hair soft and shiny-they don't. i buy shaving cream that says it will prevent nicks and irritations and will make my skin smooth but i still get razorburn and my legs itch after shaving. i buy products that are supposed to be 'good' and are somewhat expensive. anyone has encountered this problem or has any idea why these products never live up to their promise?False product advertisement?
Its a very rare product indeed that lives up to
its claims. The reason: Money.
When it comes to consumer products like soaps,
shampoos, creams, etc., the truth is that every product is pretty much like every other one. They
usually do a fair job, but most of what you are paying for with a product is the container and the marketing cost. The actual raw material costs are
inconsequential for most of these products. And
what are the raw materials? The cheapest possible things they can find. In fact, the term
';new and improved'; has actually come to mean
';cheaper and worse';.
They are really selling dreams in a bottle. And boy, people are willing to spend almost anything on that! Since none of these products are regulated by the government as to claims, they can pretty much claim anything they want. Unless the product is a drug. Then you must back up any claims with scientific evidence.
The same scheme applies to just about everything. Household laundry detergents, cleaners, car wax, fertilizer,gasoline, insecticide, dish washing liquid, televisions, etc. Very tiny differences in ingredients or components are blown up way out of proportion to their actual benefits, just for an angle on marketing, to try and get that little extra bit of the consumer dollar.
How to fight back? Check out independent sources that compare products side by side, such as Consumer Reports. Rely on word of mouth, or actual consumer reviews. Don't buy into the hype.

How is it legal to be able to sell Magazines with complete lies in it? And false advertisement?
Okay so tonight for a second I lost my sense. And may I remind you i'm using this as an example. I saw a magazine with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson on it saying they were a couple. They had on it ';Were already like a Married couple';. It was trying to make it look like they were interviewed. Well I usually don't read these magazines and i'm not obsessed with them but I wanted to see what it had to say. So I bought it for $3.49. I get home and I read the article and it says ';A source says the couple can't stay away from each other';. So Kristen and Robert were not interviewed, but they made it look like they admitted to being a couple. I just got and angry because it was all CRAP! Of course they could be dating, but I never believe anything unless it comes from the stars. So I was thinking this was true since it looked as if they were saying it. So wrong. It pisses me off. Why? Because they can sell a magazine with complete lies in it! It's stupid. And yes I was stupid to buy the stupid magazine. But hey were human. But no more! It's bull crap! And don't say they are dating or whatever. Its not the issue of ROBSTEN or whatever. it's the issue that it's stealing!How is it legal to be able to sell Magazines with complete lies in it? And false advertisement?
There's a whole freedom of the press thing that kind of let's publishers of magazines print whatever they want, as long as it's not terribly slanderous.How is it legal to be able to sell Magazines with complete lies in it? And false advertisement?
When they wrote that they can't stay away from each other, that's actually true. But anyway, i agree with you. Not because of that story, but others. It's sad that people get to waste their money on SOME magazines that have bull in it!!
:)
Technically, people can sue for false advertisement. If they get the idea that there's something in the magazine that there actually isn't, it's not right. But who would go to court over such a small case? And the press can defend themselves. If they don't state that the celeb said it, such as, ';'we're already a married couple,' Kristen said. etc. etc.'; then they're okay. It's just one of the lessons in life that you can't believe everything you read and hear.
Oh yeah, and don't always trust pictures as well. It's ironic that I bring this up, but in a KISS mag they showed a picture of Kristen and her actual bf, and then the same picture with Rob's head on it. One word. Photoshop.
Anyway, you'll just have to trust your own judgement for things like that.
Hope I helped. :)
Tabloids abuse First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of press, they can tell many lies if not defme anyone, incite violence or such crimainl speech, you must learn not buy such dumb magazines, my lover say his sister buy celebrity gossip mags, she is dumb *******, we not care what Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do, so long so they not make love before our windows, not care what any celebrities do so long so they not do it near us.

Advertisements are not generally considered offers to contract. They are generally seen as invitations for you to make an offer. Unless they are highly specific on quantity available and other details, your case would likely be dismissed. It might seem unfair, but think about a company offering cars for $1,000. If they only have 50 cars and 100 people show up, it would be unreasonable to allow 50 people to sue them. I know this isn't what happened to you, but that's just kind of the legal reasoning behind it.
False pretenses would mean they not only advertised it, but told you it was available specifically to you. Since the contract you signed pretty much says the opposite you likely don't have a case. Like I said advertisements alone are generally not offers legally.
If they told you it wasn't available and you still purchased the car, you're pretty much screwed.What do I need to do if I believe a company is guilty of false advertisement?
If you could some how prove that they did have 0% available to you, even though they said they didn't and you signed a contract that did not include it you might have a case. This would be hard to prove. If you want to try and you really want legal advice call a lawyer.
I see your point, but the fact remains that you ended up agreeing to whatever the finance charges ended up being on your contract. You could bug the dealership or the finance company, but I doubt it will get you anywhere.myspace games

How rigged do you think Soaring Eagle casino is and the false advertisement?
In the past slots winner page, there is this guy named Randy P. and his wife Angela P. who have won the jackpot over 24 times from January to August 2008. They won the jackpots several times a month and made a total of over $460,000+. I think it is all bogus and the casino creates this doo doo to lure people in!! It's an indian casino so they don't have to follow U.S. regulations/laws. The odds of winning that many times in a row is at least one million times more harder to find osma bin laden!!!!(odss 1:1,000,000,000,000)Take a look at the website: http://www.soaringeaglecasino.com/winner鈥?/a>How rigged do you think Soaring Eagle casino is and the false advertisement?

I am a musician, and recently I bought this program which stated it would send me approximately x amount of friend requests to better promote my music on myspace. There were 3 different deals they had
$9.00 for an approximate 400 friend requests, for one day
$43.00 for an approximate 2,000 friend requests, for one week
$105.00 for an approximate 5,000 friend requests, for one month
I bought the deal for 2,000 ($43.00) friend requests for a week.. Well my week is almost up, and I have only received 30 friend requests, and I am not even sure that they were all from this..
I have not yet accepted or denied any friends requests, so in my inbox for the requests are still there.. Do I have a legit case if my week is over, and I don't even receive 50 friend requests, when I could have bought the feature for $9.00 which stated I would get more? They did state that theses approximates are by no means a guarantee and can vary.. So do I have a case, or am I just screwed?Would this be considered false advertisement?
';They did state that theses approximates are by no means a guarantee and can vary';
you already have the answer.Would this be considered false advertisement?
Because they said they don't guarantee results - I hate to say it - but you're screwed. If they had a money-back guarantee, you'd have a valid complaint against them and could request a refund.
I'd say it's not just false advertising, it's breach of contract. But you would have to look more closely at the terms.

Is this false advertisement?
i purchased a baby furniture set online that consisted of 3 pieces. the picture shows them and directly below it states what i get (crib, changer, 4 drawer chest). it's obvious what the crib is, and the 4 drawer chest, and then there's the last piece of furniture that has 6 drawers with a changing pad on it in the display. obviously that's the changer. well, part of my order came in today and instead of the changer that was pictured, it's a tv stand! why on earth would i need a tv stand in my baby's room. they state that this is their changer, however, that's not what's picture. is this false advertisement and if so, what should i do about this?Is this false advertisement?
Did the fine print state that the furniture you buy may be different from the photos? That might be their way of getting away with it. However I would complain and try %26amp; get my money back or the changer in the photo. If all fails report them to the Better Business Bureau and other websites that let you leave a bad comment about the company. Here in AZ you can call the local TV station and they will help you with the research. Good luck.Is this false advertisement?
This may have just been an accident that they sent you that just contact the company and tell them about what you recieved tell them you would like to send the stand back in exchange for the changer but dont send it til you recieve the changer. i order things all the time and once in a while they me the wrong thing I send it back after they have sent me the correct item
Call them...simple.
yes it is and call them company tell them to send you a rma# with a return packing slip and you want a refund. tell them you will never do business with them and if there is an option to put a review on teh website do that too.
Send it all back.
Call the people you bought it from and complain.
Complain, write a letter, confront them online, call them over 20 times, blah blah. Do what ever you can to make sure that they knokw that your order is messed up and that you DO NOT need a TV stand and you NEED a changer!!! Also, tell them if their going to sell a TV stand...they better change the picture.
Call them and complain. .....if they won't do anything call 'advertising standards' or 'trading standards' or whatever is the equivalent in the U.S
Yes it is. I would send it all back and shop elsewhere.
Did the fine print state that the furniture you buy may be different from the photos? That might be their way of getting away with it. However I would complain and try %26amp; get my money back or the changer in the photo. If all fails report them to the Better Business Bureau and other websites that let you leave a bad comment about the company. Here in AZ you can call the local TV station and they will help you with the research. Good luck.Is this false advertisement?
This may have just been an accident that they sent you that just contact the company and tell them about what you recieved tell them you would like to send the stand back in exchange for the changer but dont send it til you recieve the changer. i order things all the time and once in a while they me the wrong thing I send it back after they have sent me the correct item
Call them...simple.
yes it is and call them company tell them to send you a rma# with a return packing slip and you want a refund. tell them you will never do business with them and if there is an option to put a review on teh website do that too.
Send it all back.

False advertisement??
if something if false advertised are the company legally obliged to give it to you at the advertised price?False advertisement??
No, they aren't.
They can take it off sale, then re-advertise at the correct price.
All they can do is say sorry - mistakes are mistakes.False advertisement??
sorry,no they aren't
the Sale of Good act will explain that
both seller and buyer have to agree the price for sale
However you could report the company to Trading Standards

What should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
Ok i have two questions..
1. What should i do?
I've been trying to get an auto loan and decided to use Yahoo Finance (because my credit isnt so great). If you go to Yahoo Autos and then click the FINANCE tab theres a gray box area that offers auto loans for people with bad credit. And it specifically states 'Lock in a low rate today, check on rates with our partners.' Seeing the word 'partners' i felt that it was safe enough to sign up with www.driverapproval.com. Has anyone ever dealt with www.driverapproval.com? I found a lot of articles referring individuals with bad credit to use that website but no hard information. (Stupid me!) I was supposed to be contacted within 24 hours regarding my application and its been 2 days. I am beginning to freak out because all my information mightve fallen into the wrong hands! I emailed yahoo fraud and they responded saying that 'the seller misinterpreted their affiliation with yahoo'.
which leads me to my second question..
2. Is this considered false advertisement??
Yahoo is saying theyre not affiliated with them but it says so on their Yahoo Autos; Finance page that theyre partners! I have no idea how to go about this.
ANY feedback or answers will help!What should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
It is not false advertising. In this context, ';partner'; means ';advertising partners'; not ';business partner.'; Further, right under the advertisement, it provides a warning: ';Note: You will be leaving the Yahoo! Autos website,'; which further serves to indicate that the advertisers are not affiliated with Yahoo! Autos.
To check out ';driverapproval.com,'; your best best would be to check out the Better Business Bureau's website. http://www.bbb.org, also see if the driverapproval.com website has any telephone numbers where you can contact them. If you are worried about your identity being stolen, watch your credit reports, which you can obtain free once per year at http://www.annualcreditreport.comWhat should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
Partner = advertising partner
You are taking the meaning of the word partner way too far. It is not false advertising.

Should the department of trade and industry investigate cebu pacific for false advertisement?
cebu pacific advertised on newspaper and internet about their P500 peso all in promo for domestic destination with travel period first quarter of next year. the buying period starting october 22, 2008 ends today october 27, 2008.
after spending a lot of time filling out their booking form, the submit booking feature seems deactivated. to make matters worse, they cannot be contacted at their call center facility. Should the department of trade and industry investigate cebu pacific for false advertisement?
They should!!!
***with regards to their call center, i doubt that there are any agents even working there. Should the department of trade and industry investigate cebu pacific for false advertisement?
They're fully booked, that's what I heard. In any case, they should make an announcement pretty soon and inform their customers that they won't be receiving anymore bookings. It's the most viable thing do in the circumstances; it's their duty to be transparent to the buying public.
The DTI should look into this and investigate.
I
its a marketing stunt. usually, it has an asterisk. for the terms and conditions will apply. they failed to highlight that these fares are limited and on a book and buy basis. where, there are only 3 seats/flight for these fares. haha
its actually stated on the ad, only that its font 8. sucks for your sis, but technically they are not violating any policy.
Yes they should! They didn't refund my sister's money even though it's their own fault why she didn't get to board the plane in the first place, and not only that, when you try to call them, they won't pick up their blasted phone!
You should not be surprised when any company rips you off. They exist to make a profit and everybody knows, all is fair in the pursuit of profit. It's dog eat dog and buyer beware at every level. Welcome to my world.
YES!
And also, this is a job for Super Tilly Ling (as Kulit would do the honors).
Senator Mirriam Santiago should roast the owners at the floors of the Senate.
Sulpicio Lines Welcomes you!!!
shut it down, why waste all the taxpayers money just to investigate this phony airline.
this practice bothers me quit a lot too,myspace games

What rights do I have as an online buyer and a false advertisement?
I ordered a tv from wally world and paid for it and they are shipping it to the store. It hasn't come in yet. When I bought the tv, the online description said 52'; 1080p plasma LCD HDTV and had loads of features. Now the online description has changed to 50'; 720p plasma and has lost a few features. When I paid for the tv I printed off a copy of the page that shows a picture of the tv with the description and features and price.
I have been looking for a tv for almost a year and purchased this tv even though I am waiting quite a while for it to be delivered. The price was good for a 1080p 52';. But it is not good for a 50'; 720p.
Are they legally bound to give me a 52'; 1080p television since that is was they advertised? I need to know what ground I have to stand on before it gets to the store.What rights do I have as an online buyer and a false advertisement?
Definitely bring along that copy you printed out. Walmart will most likely be more than willing to give you a refund on the purchase price if the product is not as advertised. Usually Walmart is fairly good with returns, but it's very surprising the description changed so much!
If at Walmart they tell you that you can't get a refund (or the proper set), then you definitely have a case... I mean buying something from their store online should have the same effect as buying something in-store. If you buy a toaster in store as advertised and realize that it's an entirely different color, different model, and different capacity when you open the box... you have a right to get a full refund for what you just paid for.
Be sure to check the fine print on Walmart.com's terms of service agreement. I don't think it justifies false advertising (or even a computer error which this very well may be). If you're really very concerned about it and want to know Walmart's position on this kind of matter, they do have contact information. I would call them up and be sure your order was placed for the set you want, if not, they might even be able to cancel it before it gets to the store.What rights do I have as an online buyer and a false advertisement?
make a copy of the page you printed and take the copy to the store and if the TV isn't what you ordered then refuse to buy it. When order something if it doesn't come in the way as described, then they can't expect you to buy it anyway.
Glad you printed off a copy, that was a WISE thing to do. We have to protect ourselves.
In English law, (you'll have to check your own) you could demand the 50'; TV, and if they cannot supply it you could buy one and sue the store for the difference.
AS LONG as you a receipt with the 50'; description.
That is bait and switch . . I am not a lawyer . . but I wouldn't stand for it. If they won't help you out (which I think they will). I would call my credit card company and dispute the charge.
Good luck . . that stinks
Printing it was a good idea, also having your receipt that states exactly what was purchased is good to have as well. Be sure to check that you are getting what you paid for.

Can i get out of my lease due to false advertisement?
When I signed the lease, the agent said that were was a restaurant and workout room in every apartment, they advertise (on their website too) that its a gated apartment complex with 24/7 gatehouse attendant.
There is no restaurant, it is gone, appartnely gone before we even signed the lease (without our knowledge). There is no work out room, as advertised that there is a working room in every building, there isnt in ours. One enterance is gated with 24/7 doorman, the other isnt, the gates are always open with no one watching it, anyone and everyone does get in from the side.
and then little things, like they advertised tennis courts, but theres no nets and the ball doesnt bounce on the courts. and they said theres a stamp machine, and its gone.
Weve been calling/emailing and going inperson for weeks to get a copy of our lease, they said they would mail it, they never do.
and there are a thousand more problems, which yahoo answers does not have enough room to type. lolCan i get out of my lease due to false advertisement?
First off...never sign anything without demanding a copy then and there. Second...didn't you check out the property BEFORE you signed the lease? What is advertised and what you signed up for can and may be two different things.Can i get out of my lease due to false advertisement?
You may be able to get a reduction in your rent. Did you tour the complex before you signed the lease? If all the things the complex promised you are making a large difference to you, then by all means ask them to break the lease. The only thing you could sue them for would be to dissolve your lease.
Move out if you don't like it and it was false advertisement. Tell the owner and tell them why. They should understand. If they say no, then say F.U. I want my deposit back. If they still say no, tell them that they will be hearing from your lawyer, which will cost A LOT more because they will charge the owner legal fees....that usually does it.
First, I'd talk to them. Either they will allow you to break the lease, or get a reduction in rent. Sounds like the place is not well maintained, so make sure you document all the problems with the place in writing and pictures before you are there too long. Most tenants don't bother doing this, but they should.
Make sure you document all these things before they have a chance to remove it from their site. Were these things listed in the lease? If so, you definitely have a case. Otherwise, you'll end up going to court to get your deposit back and sue them for some sort of compensation.

Is this website is filled with hypnosis and false-advertisement?
Before you click,
Don't follow what any of this guy says, its all part of a scam.
http://www.fatburningfurnace.com/index.p鈥?/a>
I keep hearing the words ';sexy, attractive, strong'; ';this is the right way, the only way'; ';all you have heard before is wrong'; ';family, fun, love, sex'; and he keeps me persistent waiting for the tip to burn fat but he never says it. He keeps making you think he'll say it in the video but he never does.
He comes at you like he's something to relate to.
Anyone want to discuss this? What kind of style of hypnosis he is using?
I've seen many Derren Brown videos in my time but I never experienced this kind of hypnosis before.
I'm 125 lbs so that's probably why I didn't fall for this scam.Is this website is filled with hypnosis and false-advertisement?
omg i've seen this. i dont know if you can call it hypnosis or anything, but maybe just bad advertising lol. i know if i was looking for a diet or something (i'm 125 too lol) i would just want it to get straight to the point. i mean, this guy's video is boring. get to the damn secret! lol.
interesting that someone else saw this too.Is this website is filled with hypnosis and false-advertisement?
That's because the word ';burn'; is not a marketable word.
There is a better way, imo - join the fire service.
Then you'll be exposed to all the heat you want, and you'll be saving lives too!

What can I do legally about this false advertisement?
On Thanksgiving night, I went to the Walmart at 11 p.m. to get in line to purchase the HP Laptop for $298 for the Black Friday Special. I was first in line and waited for 6 hours to make my pruchase. At 5:00 a.m. I was told that they could not find any of the computers and we were to give them our names and numbers and they would call us when they were able to locate the laptops. I called back around 12:00 p.m. and was told that they did not have them and if they found out that the computers were not delivered to their location I could not get it at the discounted price even though I was first in line to purchase one. I am upset and disappointed by the lack of organization of this event. What can I do legally to make sure that I get a $298 HP or another compatible laptop?What can I do legally about this false advertisement?
contact your state attorney general's office, or perhaps your city, county or state has an office of consumer affairs.What can I do legally about this false advertisement?
The laws of false advertising only apply to things you have actually bought. It is unfortunate that you had to wait so long, but they have done nothing wrong, legally speaking.
If that was the case, I would be able to sue the supermarket every time they ran out of stock.
Coming here for legal advice though, why?
Nothing. The ad will have small print saying 'subject to availability'. It sucks that you didn't get it, but it's not illegal.
Nothing, very very fine print says subject to availabity or may not be available in all areas..Sorry.

Can I sue an international seller for false advertisement?
Okay, so I basically ordered a fake G1 from this website that is based in China. When I received the phone, it was, indeed, not a G1 and some lame replica. It does not have a keyboard, android market, or access to internet, although I have a data plan with T-Mobile currently. Basically the only thing I could do on it was call people, because the texting was messed up too.
On their website, it shows a picture of a legit G1. Only until after I bought the phone and went back did I realize a tiny link that had other pictures of the phone. Even then, it looked like a G1 to me and the phone even said ';T-Mobile'; at the top. The phone I received says ';G-Mobile.';
Also, they are making it very difficult for me to return it. I have been arguing with them via email for over 2 weeks, and their English is not very good. They are telling me I can't return the phone if there's nothing wrong with it.
Any legal action, at all, that I can take?Can I sue an international seller for false advertisement?
Sure. You could fly over to their country and file legal action there, but it's probably going to cost you quite a bit of money to keep going back and forth for every court appearance.
You could dispute it with your credit card company, but they often won't get involved in disputes regarding international sales.
This is the risk you take when you buy internationally without researching the product and the company first.Can I sue an international seller for false advertisement?
You can't sue foreign companies for making knockoffs and shipping them to you. When you're international, it's buyer beware. You shouldn't be ordering phones from china anyway.
Ryndal is, of course, wrong. Why can't you sue? Sure you can! This is America, for God's sake! But, and maybe this is what Ryndal meant, how will you get jurisdiction over them? Do they have any operations here? Property? Bank accounts you could levy? I know! Lure one of them into hopping a plane to meet you in Disneyland (say you'll but their ticket, see, it's a trick!) and as soon as they land, serve them with a summons!
OK, enough kidding, how are you going to enforce this contract, which they obviously breached? Start quoting all sorts of legal gibberish at them-- you sent me non-conforming goods in violation of the Uniform Commercial Code and I am exercising my right to sue for breach, etc. See where that takes you. You could sue them, but again, how do you hail them into court? See if they have a US arm of operations. If they do, serve them with your complaint.
Alternatively, you could talk with your provider and see if they'll give you a credit for the amount you paid these rip-off artists. And, you can spread the word about this crappy company so others won't get conned!
for 1 thing is true that the chineese know better english then u do, they just try to do like the mexicans here do they just try to make u think they cant so ull go aways fasdter, but if u got lots of money to blow away for all the lawyers to take home instead of u goin to buy a phone cheeper then do the best thing buy from were u can see it in hand workin and itll be much much much cheeper then payin lawyers to figure out wat to do, shure lawyers say sue cause u the one losin money not the lawyers, they bigger crooks then the chineese company who sold u the phone so chalk it up as education an just go buy from a cell phone store neerest u an ull come out ahead of the game an even afford minutes on ur phone just dont get the contracted phones, beside u not gonna marry the phone are u u only use phone for business an home stuff so wats with all this fancy stuff u buyin for think about it who realy needs a phone with cameras, games, internet an all that stuff, really r u that dependent on a stupid phone which will be obsolete in 3 months anyways, then u have to buy another one to show off to everyone big deal u got fancy phone, big deal, my phone is 50. dollars a month an i do everything the fancy ones do except internet, games, toys shoppin an ecxt. u to much on this electronics gaget stuff , these same companies keep sayin u need this stuff to live well surprise surprise , humans ben doin fine all these yrs with out blu tooth an other phone stuff so stop feeding into the hype, just get a regular phone an ull be talkin to everyone everywere, an it is cheeper, for wat u spend on phone go buy another car or house or boat or somethin else it only a phone, not ur blodd life,
no.
when dealing through the internet or any where that you can not actually inspect the product personally there is only one thing to remember.
';BUYER BEWARE';
No you can not sue. If the company is reputable they will probably give you a refund or replacement, if not just try going on places like eBay or monster.com and let everyone know about the bad business practices.
I agree 100% with Ryndal. What kind of demon possessed you and bought a G1, Chinese version, with your body? A T-Mobile store is obviously closer and it has a much more face-to-face argument probability. I don't think that mistake is undo-able. I'm sincerely sorry. Peace and love.
On their website, it shows a picture of a legit G1. Only until after I bought the phone and went back did I realize a tiny link that had other pictures of the phone. Even then, it looked like a G1 to me and the phone even said ';T-Mobile'; at the top. The phone I received says ';G-Mobile.';

Ryndal is, of course, wrong. Why can't you sue? Sure you can! This is America, for God's sake! But, and maybe this is what Ryndal meant, how will you get jurisdiction over them? Do they have any operations here? Property? Bank accounts you could levy? I know! Lure one of them into hopping a plane to meet you in Disneyland (say you'll but their ticket, see, it's a trick!) and as soon as they land, serve them with a summons!
OK, enough kidding, how are you going to enforce this contract, which they obviously breached? Start quoting all sorts of legal gibberish at them-- you sent me non-conforming goods in violation of the Uniform Commercial Code and I am exercising my right to sue for breach, etc. See where that takes you. You could sue them, but again, how do you hail them into court? See if they have a US arm of operations. If they do, serve them with your complaint.
Alternatively, you could talk with your provider and see if they'll give you a credit for the amount you paid these rip-off artists. And, you can spread the word about this crappy company so others won't get conned!
for 1 thing is true that the chineese know better english then u do, they just try to do like the mexicans here do they just try to make u think they cant so ull go aways fasdter, but if u got lots of money to blow away for all the lawyers to take home instead of u goin to buy a phone cheeper then do the best thing buy from were u can see it in hand workin and itll be much much much cheeper then payin lawyers to figure out wat to do, shure lawyers say sue cause u the one losin money not the lawyers, they bigger crooks then the chineese company who sold u the phone so chalk it up as education an just go buy from a cell phone store neerest u an ull come out ahead of the game an even afford minutes on ur phone just dont get the contracted phones, beside u not gonna marry the phone are u u only use phone for business an home stuff so wats with all this fancy stuff u buyin for think about it who realy needs a phone with cameras, games, internet an all that stuff, really r u that dependent on a stupid phone which will be obsolete in 3 months anyways, then u have to buy another one to show off to everyone big deal u got fancy phone, big deal, my phone is 50. dollars a month an i do everything the fancy ones do except internet, games, toys shoppin an ecxt. u to much on this electronics gaget stuff , these same companies keep sayin u need this stuff to live well surprise surprise , humans ben doin fine all these yrs with out blu tooth an other phone stuff so stop feeding into the hype, just get a regular phone an ull be talkin to everyone everywere, an it is cheeper, for wat u spend on phone go buy another car or house or boat or somethin else it only a phone, not ur blodd life,
no.
when dealing through the internet or any where that you can not actually inspect the product personally there is only one thing to remember.
';BUYER BEWARE';
No you can not sue. If the company is reputable they will probably give you a refund or replacement, if not just try going on places like eBay or monster.com and let everyone know about the bad business practices.
I agree 100% with Ryndal. What kind of demon possessed you and bought a G1, Chinese version, with your body? A T-Mobile store is obviously closer and it has a much more face-to-face argument probability. I don't think that mistake is undo-able. I'm sincerely sorry. Peace and love.
What should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
Ok i have two questions..
1. What should i do?
I've been trying to get an auto loan and decided to use Yahoo Finance (because my credit isnt so great). If you go to Yahoo Autos and then click the FINANCE tab theres a gray box area that offers auto loans for people with bad credit. And it specifically states 'Lock in a low rate today, check on rates with our partners.' Seeing the word 'partners' i felt that it was safe enough to sign up with www.driverapproval.com. Has anyone ever dealt with www.driverapproval.com? I found a lot of articles referring individuals with bad credit to use that website but no hard information. (Stupid me!) I was supposed to be contacted within 24 hours regarding my application and its been 2 days. I am beginning to freak out because all my information mightve fallen into the wrong hands! I emailed yahoo fraud and they responded saying that 'the seller misinterpreted their affiliation with yahoo'.
which leads me to my second question..
2. Is this considered false advertisement??
Yahoo is saying theyre not affiliated with them but it says so on their Yahoo Autos; Finance page that theyre partners! I have no idea how to go about this.
ANY feedback or answers will help!What should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
It looks like your information may have fallen into the hands of a shifty individual or scam artist. If you provided them with your social security number, I would recommend contacting all of your banks to let them know that your SSN has been compromised. I would also recommend using a credit monitoring service to keep track of any new credit inquiries that appear on your record. I would also recommend this company to the Better Business Bureau if you are not contacted within 10 days of this inquiry.
Although this could be considered false advertisement, it will be difficult to prove and may not be worth the time to try to rectify this situation. The best you can do is try to protect your accounts at this point.
There are car dealerships like J.D. Byrider that offer credit solutions for drivers that don't have great credit. J.D. Byrider does not use banks for financing and has an in-house financing department. Be aware that the interest rates are higher though. But using a dealership like J.D. Byrider will save you from entering your private information over the Internet.
Good luck with your situation. I hope it works out in your favor.What should I do? / Is this considered false advertisement?
probably that website payed yahoo to advertise there, yahoo probably isn't affiliated with them anyhow. Give it a few more days and maybe they'll contact you.myspace games

Can this company be held accountable for false advertisement?
A certain retail store on Black Friday ran a paper advertisement stating that you would receive a ';free'; item (originally worth $x) with the purchase of another item for $xx. The ad stipulated that it would only last ';while supplies lasted';.
I arrived at the store at opening and was the first one to purchase the item in question. I received the item, but was told that there were no more of the ';free'; item, which should have been impossible since i purchased the first one.
They said that other people had purchased the item earlier in the week and gotten free cases; however, that still doesnt explain how something that's being advertised for ';FRIDAY/SATURDAY only'; was not in stock on the first day of the purported sale.
They agreed to give me one of the free items when they came back in stock, but when I returned later next week, they no longer wanted to abide by the original verbal agreement.
So - are they guilty of false advertisement? or just shady practices?Can this company be held accountable for false advertisement?
I hope you have a WRITTEN ad of the offer that they ';screwed'; you out of. If so, see the store manager, and say to him that unless he makes good on the offer as written, you will report him to the media---television, newspapers, etc, and also take the store to Small Claims Court. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT which PROVES you were the first to buy the item when the store opened. I am almost SURE he will arrange to honor the offer because bad publicity will cost the store far more than the cost of the ';free'; item. Be prepared to DO these things if he does not honor the offer.Can this company be held accountable for false advertisement?
While this sort of tactic isn't really on the up and up sad fact is that in order to prove any type of fraud you have to establish the fact that they intended to deceive. Very difficult to prove.
It happens all the time. There's a retail electronics outlet (won't mention the name) that does it all the time. They advertise a really cool bargain limited to stock on hand. Problem is they only stock a few units.
Bait and switch
It is illegal
Since you have a reciept, go to the local law enforcement, if they won't do anything, then go to the DA of your city, if he won't do anything, then go to the city counsel, if they won't do anything, go to your state representative.
Make huge waves
You could end up with a plasma TV just to keep you quiet.

Sounds shady to me.
was item $xx on sale? did the sale have anything to do with the ';special';? if the ';special'; deal was based on original price and that same item went on sale ';Friday/Saturday only';, it may not apply.
I'd say they would be guilty of both. What they did was a typical ';bait %26amp; switch';, where they advertise an item at some rediculously low price (or offer something free with it) with no intention of ever honoring it.
Car dealers do it all the time, ever heard ';Good Credit, Bad Credit, No Credit? No problem!! Bring $99. and drive away!';??? You'll never find anyone with bad credit drive off a dealers lot in a brand new car with only $99 down, I promise you. But they hide the details in fine print so small that you need a microscope to read it. Usually it says ';Offer good with approved credit only, additional down payment may be necessary, Dealer reserves right to refuse any customer, see dealer for details...';
Shady? yes. Legal? unfortunantly, yes.
Verbal agreements rarely mean diddly, unless you can back up what they told you with a voice recording of what was said.
As for whether you could actually sue? I'd contact a lawyer in your area and tell him the details and see if he feels you have a valid argument or not.
btw- reminds me of a local furniture store in our city who has been ';Going Out of Buisness-Everything Must Go-Final Days'; for almost twenty years now. The guy has made a career out of going out of buisness. lol
Yes definatly

Can I sue a staffing agency for false advertisement?
I've had several staffing agencies tell me over the phone that they have jobs available, then once I go to their office to fill out an application and other paperwork, they then tell me that they have nothing available. I am quite fed up with this, not only does it waste my time, but it also wastes what little money I have having to drive to these places.
FYI: The jobs we're also listed in the newspaper as well as on websites.Can I sue a staffing agency for false advertisement?
Filing a lawsuit against the temp agency would be a REAL waste of money. $150.00 in filing fees only to have it dismissed when the temp agencies lawyers get a hold of your complaint.
Sorry, but you are better served using your money and time actually pounding the pavement, going door to door and putting in applications, than wasting time and money trying to sue.Can I sue a staffing agency for false advertisement?
I would just keep calling the companies and let them know you are interested. I did temp work summers in college and they were always impressed by someone motivated. Good luck!
You don't have a basis to sue - they said a job was available but that doesn't mean that they have to offer it to you.
I'm with you...maybe there's a class action lawsuit here.
Post of the postings at those staffing agencies are first come, first served...if you aren't one of the first people there, the job gets filled. You can't expect the agency to lose out on money so that they can hold a spot for you.
Employment agencies commonly use the ';carrot on a stick'; approach to get you to show up at their office. It is reprehensible and ignorant but that is the nature of their work.
You are the buyer here, and we all heard the old saying, ';buyer beware.'; Don't let yourself be suckered by these people any more.
Any question that begins ';Can I sue...'; always has the same answer: YES
The more important question is ';Should I sue...'; In this case, the answer may be NO. What was the damage to you? Can you quantify and prove those damages?
Note: They might be disqualifying you if your application has the same errors as your question. ';The jobs were also listed...';, not ';The jobs we're also listed...';

Isn't this a case of false advertisement.?
Now I'm not much of a lawyer but my mom is, however she's a divorce attorney so she isn't 100% positive on the answer of my question. Now I've read a lot of cases about people who sue companies for millions of dollars for really stupid things. And a couple of weeks ago in my Social Actions class we were discussing false advertisement and we talked about how everything has to be sold exactly how it is advertised or it is false advertisement.
So that same day I saw a Burger King commercial and I thought it was pretty funny, it was the one with the whopper jr and his father, so I kind of remembered it. But in the commercial it said the burger was only 1 dollar. However I noticed the other day when I entered a local Burger King that it was actually $1.19. Isn't this false advertisement? Not that I'm going to try to sue BK but when you think of the amounts of people who buy whopper jr's everyday thinking their a dollar BK must make millions out of it. I mean supposed with taxes its 1.07, you multiply the the 12 leftover cents by lets say, 1 million burgers a day. That's a lot of money. I just found it amusing and also interesting how such a big industry could make such a stupid error.Isn't this a case of false advertisement.?
If you look closely at the bottom of the ad, you will see ';participating stores only'; written in very small print.Isn't this a case of false advertisement.?
It's not false advertising. I'm sure somewhere at the end of that commercial it said in fine print ';price and participation may vary';. That means the individual franchise owner can choose whether or not they want to participate in a national marketing campaign. Most do; some don't.

*your hella not getting what you expected!*
SOOOO Can I SUE McDonald's for False Advertisement?✰✰✰✰✰✰✰Can I SUE McDonald's for False Advertisement???✰✰✰✰✰✰✰?
Nope. You cant sue because your burger was squishy. They advertised that you would get meat, buns, pickles, onions, ketchup, cheese, and mustard, which is exactly what you got.
As far as the 2nd pic, the girl is advertising her face. You made the assumption that her face matched her body, which was NOT showing. That is your bad that you assumed something.✰✰✰✰✰✰✰Can I SUE McDonald's for False Advertisement???✰✰✰✰✰✰✰?
There's nothing you can do about it. In pictures the food always looks the best it can look (considering it's nasty food) But I know when you get it, it looks disgusting and is just thrown together. Long ago I worked there and I know how the backline people just throw together the stuff as fast as they can and it's always sloppy and never looks like it does in the ads. It's all about being fast, not making it the right way.
I would recommend staying away from McDonalds don't you know how unhealthy and nasty is it? So many fat, calories, and next no zero nutrition.
no, you cannot. First of all, the third picture you have, doesn't help prove your point at all. and if the picture of the burger you actually received didn't have a bite out of it, it could possibly resemble the advertised burger. The advertisement shows what the burger contains and the burger you received (unless you ordered it differently) probably had the same stuff.
so no, you can't sue them. you have no reason to.
naw cuz i know alot of fast food restaurants that do that,i mean you can but i wouldn't if i were you,trust me you do not wanna get involved in a power struggle,it's the little guys versus the big guys
Do you honestly think that you are the only one that they do that to? If you read the small print you will see that the actual product may vary from the image you see on the television or advertisement.
Lmfao..!!
Yeah, that is just like that girl.. You crop that picture and you wouldn't think she is a fata.s.s...
This is the most perfect question I have ever saw on here..
Hell yeah.. let's call some lawyers and settle this once and for all.. McDonalds really plsses me off.. and plus their french fries are always cold.
U better eat somewhere else. I have this same problem too. If u live in California, just eat in ';Jack In The Box';, ';Curls Jr';, ';Subway';, ';KFC';, etc....
That's much better. It will be a huge problem if u try to sue them. Maybe police will come and many other problem will come.
You can sue anyone for anything these days-that old woman sued because she burned her c%26amp;*ch with hot coffee... She ordered hot coffee... And she won! Never in her million years on earth did ever think her c%26amp;*ch would be worth $85,000,000-even when she was young!!!
they will ahve much better lawyers than you and if its so easy i find that someone else has already done it, therefore if they had won then you wud know about it if u read the papers
y do u go to mcdonalds anyways?
it's not worth it. advertisements do this all the time. It doesn't matter how nice the burger looks, just how it tastes, and how good it is for you (well, at least I think)
do it.
you probably wont win. but go for it.
if it came with the bite in it then you could definetly win. haha.
hahaha if you try sue McDonald's they will somehow win the case so don't waste your time
THAT THIRD PIC OMG!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KEEP CLICKING ON IT HAHAHA ... I LOVE U 4 IT LOL
tc
LOL HAHAHHA :)) ya i think i dont noe oMG da last pic is HILARIAS HAHAHHAHAHAHA i DONT noe y it just id :))
Yeah, you can sue anybody for anything.
They use professional food decorators for their advertisements I seen a documentary on it.
lol, with some good luck you can
HAHAHA.
No. If you could, they'd be out of buisness ages ago.
Nice try.
You could as long as they don't have a ';object may look different than it appears'; sign underneath lol
they will overpower you. they will have like 80 lawyers.
lol hahaha i feel the same way
the picure looks soo much better =] ahahaha
LOL yes you should defiantly sue them.. in US you can pretty much sue anyone for anything
LMAO at last pic
You CAN if you want.
It'll just be a BIIIGGGG waste of money. You won't win. :)
UNLESS it came with that big ol' bite. In that case, yes, you can get you some money. :)
Screw Mcdonalds(:
Holla
In-N-Out FTW
Caveat emptor
I've felt like it
their ads imply that I'd be loving it
But i didnt - I was merely satisfied
lol dat must have been a result of years of false advertisement
if you could sue mcdonalds for that, you'd be able to sue 50 other places.
Lmao! I hate McDonalds. Stupid Ronald McDonald D:%26lt;
You should sue, I would be haapppyyy!
Lmao.
I absolutely agree with you.
The last pic is just hilarious lol.
thats stupid.
thats just like suing jc penny or macy's for the clothes not fitting like they do on the models on TV!!

Lmfao..!!
Yeah, that is just like that girl.. You crop that picture and you wouldn't think she is a fata.s.s...
This is the most perfect question I have ever saw on here..
Hell yeah.. let's call some lawyers and settle this once and for all.. McDonalds really plsses me off.. and plus their french fries are always cold.
U better eat somewhere else. I have this same problem too. If u live in California, just eat in ';Jack In The Box';, ';Curls Jr';, ';Subway';, ';KFC';, etc....
That's much better. It will be a huge problem if u try to sue them. Maybe police will come and many other problem will come.
You can sue anyone for anything these days-that old woman sued because she burned her c%26amp;*ch with hot coffee... She ordered hot coffee... And she won! Never in her million years on earth did ever think her c%26amp;*ch would be worth $85,000,000-even when she was young!!!
they will ahve much better lawyers than you and if its so easy i find that someone else has already done it, therefore if they had won then you wud know about it if u read the papers
y do u go to mcdonalds anyways?
it's not worth it. advertisements do this all the time. It doesn't matter how nice the burger looks, just how it tastes, and how good it is for you (well, at least I think)
do it.
you probably wont win. but go for it.
if it came with the bite in it then you could definetly win. haha.
hahaha if you try sue McDonald's they will somehow win the case so don't waste your time
THAT THIRD PIC OMG!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KEEP CLICKING ON IT HAHAHA ... I LOVE U 4 IT LOL
tc
LOL HAHAHHA :)) ya i think i dont noe oMG da last pic is HILARIAS HAHAHHAHAHAHA i DONT noe y it just id :))
Yeah, you can sue anybody for anything.
They use professional food decorators for their advertisements I seen a documentary on it.
lol, with some good luck you can
HAHAHA.
No. If you could, they'd be out of buisness ages ago.
Nice try.
You could as long as they don't have a ';object may look different than it appears'; sign underneath lol
they will overpower you. they will have like 80 lawyers.
lol hahaha i feel the same way
the picure looks soo much better =] ahahaha
LOL yes you should defiantly sue them.. in US you can pretty much sue anyone for anything
LMAO at last pic
You CAN if you want.
It'll just be a BIIIGGGG waste of money. You won't win. :)
UNLESS it came with that big ol' bite. In that case, yes, you can get you some money. :)
Screw Mcdonalds(:
Holla
In-N-Out FTW
Caveat emptor
I've felt like it
their ads imply that I'd be loving it
But i didnt - I was merely satisfied
lol dat must have been a result of years of false advertisement
if you could sue mcdonalds for that, you'd be able to sue 50 other places.
Lmao! I hate McDonalds. Stupid Ronald McDonald D:%26lt;
You should sue, I would be haapppyyy!
Lmao.
I absolutely agree with you.
The last pic is just hilarious lol.
thats stupid.
thats just like suing jc penny or macy's for the clothes not fitting like they do on the models on TV!!
Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
I am military living in Colorado and wanted to purchase a vehicle from a dealership that i seen online. I wired the dealer $1000 and called him about 1hr later letting him i know i just sent the money. My wife wanted me to confirm with him about it having a sunroof. I told her yes, but still asked and the dealer replied no!
I asked for my deposit back and he said sorry bud. I went home asking myself what made me think it had a sunroof. So i looked online and confirmed that it said sunroof on their autotrader ad. I called the dealer back and he informed me that it was human error and that it also says on there no refunds of deposits. To this day i havent signed any paperwork, whatsoever. I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
The dealer is in violation of the law. ALL deposits are refundable. It doesn't matter what you put it on, it is fully refundable. Sometimes a shady dealer might try to get away with it by calling your deposit a down payment, thinking the phrasing will allow them to keep your money. But that's not true.
A deposit is any type of payment made for the explicit purpose of a future purchase. Your deposit is 100% refundable. Also, you put the deposit on a vehicle with a sunroof since that's the way it was advertised. But they don't have that specific vehicle. Therefore, they owe you your deposit in full.
Don't call anymore. You now need a paper trail to prove your case. You need something in writing that can be introduced as evidence should you have to go to Small Claims Court.
Send the owner a certified letter stating that you want a full refund of your $1000 deposit within 48 hours of receipt of the letter. Or you will file against them in Small Claims Court. Be sure to get a Delivery Confirmation on the letter too, so you can track it to be sure it was delivered.
If they don't respond, file a claim against them in the county from where you wired the money to them. If you file it in any other county, your case will be thrown out on a technicality.
Bring the ad with you to court and you should easily get a judgment in your favor. Good luck.Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
You were very foolish to send money for a car you have not driven and inspected in person. You should be able to get your deposit back only because you have not signed any actual papers. If they balk at refunding the deposit, tell them you will be in touch with the Licensing Department (which issues their operating permit) and the State Attorney general. If they don't pony up the cash, follow through with the calls.
It would be a small claims matter in court. You will probably not get anything unless there is proof of you giving the money like a transaction number and proof of their false advertisement. THis matter would drag out for years and happens alot but youd be spending more money taking it to small claims court than the money you lost...my advice is dont send money to anyone unless you have a signed paper or a refund policy
Start by filing a complaint with your local better business bureau and than your secretary of states office. Let the dealer know that you intend to file with both unless your deposit is returned. Try talking to various people at the dealership including the owner (generally the name sake of the dealarship) and write letters. If this doesn't reconcile the situation, take them to small claims court.
Why didn't you go see the car first? I mean it could have been missing doors and seats. You wouldn't know unless you went there in person.
Never ever wire or western union cash..... you will never see it again 100% of the time.
Buying a vehicle without seeing, feeling. smelling, test driving it?
You need to loose this money to garner a lesson from this.

Can I sue Burger King for false advertisement?
Coupon reads as follows:
';One free WHOPPER sandwich or Original Chicken sandwich with purchase of ANY size drink and fries after completing our brief survey.';
I completed the survey and walked in the store. I ordered a small drink and one order of small fries.
I was denied and told that I needed to order a medium or large drink/fries to get my free Whopper or Chicken Sandwich.
Clearly the coupon reads ANY SIZE drink or fries.
Can I sue? Can I sue Burger King for false advertisement?
If the coupon was as crystal clear as you describe, the cashier or manager you had seems to have misunderstood it (don't ask me how). I'd bet a dollar that anyone else, at that location or any other, would have honored the coupon.
So on that point, because the coupon was issued by Burger King and is apparently quite explicit, you couldn't sue them for false advertising. You can complain to the company about what happened at the restaurant, though, and you'll probably score some more free food out of it. Do it in writing and be polite, and you'll get a good response. Can I sue Burger King for false advertisement?
Even if you sued all you would get is a whopper. Do you actually think that they would change the statement just so they could lose when you sue. All they would have to say is we will give him a whopper and your case is thrown out of the court at you to bear the whole cost of filing and the summons. The court will not make them give you money just because the ad lied to you. Even if your right all they need to do is give you a whopper and if you wanted more, it's a different case. After that your just someone who goes around sueing for sales ad. Like this is not the best computer, so sue Dell etc.....
Yes, you can sue but, then you must ask your self it would be cost-worthy. An extra $0.50 for a larger fry and drink is alot more cost-efficient then, a few thousand just to lose to a large corporation with a good team of lawyers.
Did the coupon include words to the effect of ';limited time only';? If so, the limited time had expired.
I wouldn't sue i would tell them that it said any size blah blah blah. Then i would show them the coupon.
Burger king is not that bright apparently...but chill out, dont go sueing people over burgers and fries.... just pay your five dollars and go....lol

Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?
I have a virgin moblie prepaid cell phone and i thought it was a good value. you pay $20 for 200 minutes. but over time i noticed that my account was draining unusually fast and i hadn't even talked that much. so i checked my account on the phone and saw it said ';you are paying the basic rate 20 cents a miniute';! If you do the math you are only getting half of the minutes you pay for. rather than 200 minutes *which would pan out to 10 cents a minute* YOU ARE ONLY GETTING HALF OF WHAT YOU PAY FOR *100 minutes at 20 cents a minute!* is this even legal because i believe it is false advertising!Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?
I have a Virgin phone too. See, here's how it works: you use a top up card to add money to your account and then you buy a ';minute pack.'; That's how you get 200 minutes for $20. You can do it right from your phone by pressing the dollar sign key. If you don't buy the minute pack, you will end up paying 20 cents a minute. Here's a link to the company's website that explains it in further detail.Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?
when u buy the 20 dollar 200 minutes card u have to chose a minute pack for 200 minutes.u go to ur account on ur phone and pick a minute pack.lowest one is 20 dollars.if u dont pick a minute pack it will charge 20 cents a minute no matter how much money is on ur account.
I used to have virgin mobile, and it sucks. The amount of money you will spend on top up cards are outrageous. You should switch to boost mobile. It's 50 a month unlimited everything.
I understood it was only to other virgin mobile phones??

I have been sold insurance under false advertisement what can i do about it ?
i took out mobile phone insurance and was told any repairs would be dealt with in 48 hours and if not a replacement phone would be sent out. its now been 2 weeks and they are only just ordering me a new phone so it will be 3 weeks by the time i recieve the phone. is there anything i can do about this and if so what is it ?I have been sold insurance under false advertisement what can i do about it ?
Unless you were ';told'; that in writing as part of your insurance documents, you have no recourse.I have been sold insurance under false advertisement what can i do about it ?
Does ';the insurance'; policy actually say that repairs/replacements would be resolved within 48 hrs? because if it does you have cause to file suit... if it only says they would repair/replace it with no specific time-frame, then they could take ';a reasonable amount of time'; to repair/replace.
I would think you need to do some homework and get this ';48hrs guarantee'; either in writing from that company or a recording of a sales person promising this 48hrs turn around.
Mind you I'm not a lawyer. I'm an insurance agency owner, so I would suggest you see an attorney to explore your options. Given the costs I would think ';small claims court'; would be the best thing for you.
What your TOLD doesn't mean anything. Whatever the PAPER says is what counts.
The ';insurance'; you buy on that stuff, isn't real insurance, it's more like a warranty. It's not regulated, there's no supervising control. You can't do anything, except buy your phone from a different company.
See if you can get compensation for the extra time they took, otherwise SUE THEIR ***!!!!

Private Car Sale, Buyer says False Advertisement.?
Earlier in the week (3 days ago), I sold an older car (1986). Today (3 days later) I received a call from the buyer saying there are problems with the car.
He is saying that there is engine problems (but agreed I didn't know about it), and false advertisement because I had listed in my craigslist ad that the car had a posi rear end in it (which I was told it did when I purchased the car 2 years ago). I'm no mechanic so that's what I thought it had.
He is basically saying that he wants $500 back from me because of false advertisement and that's how much it would cost to find a cheap posi. He originally said he wanted $800 back.
Now he paid me $2900 and never asked to have the car checked out by a mechanic before he purchased the car. If he did and offered me $2400 I would not have sold him the car. I said I felt bad and would be willing to give him $200 back, but he said that he is getting $500 or will take me to small claims court.
Does he have a case?
Private Car Sales are ';as is'; correct?Private Car Sale, Buyer says False Advertisement.?
GO DO RESEARCH
SORRYPrivate Car Sale, Buyer says False Advertisement.?
no he doesn't have a case be cause unless you said ';as is'; your okay
and its the responsibility of the buyer to double check before making the purchase so your good
he is probably trying to hussle you and taka the $200 off
No.
Yes.
Tell him the $200 is off the table and that you will see him in court. Then just make sure you show up.
In the meantime, remove the ad from craigslist.
You have an 80-95% chance of winning.
He's trying to hussle you for sure.... does he have a copy of the ADD? was there any written contract? did you sell it AS-IS? these are things you'll need to answer. But i think he's just trying to get something for nothing.
Take the offer off the table. He had the opportunity to check it out before he bought it. Not your fault as you sold in good faith.

Is there a law against false advertisement?
What I always notice, and it annoys me so much, is that businesses constantly misadvertise. Once I looked for a used car. The dealer advertised a price for a car that seemed really good. I called and they said, yes, we have it. When I was there they of course did not have it, but had an older car of the same model with more miles for almost double the price.
The issue I have is that these businesses constantly advertise like that. There are even businesses that offer you products they do not even have just to get you in the door. How can such business practices be legal and why isn't anyone doing anything against that?Is there a law against false advertisement?
Yes there are laws. But you have to prove that the merchant intended to deceive you through the advertisement. That can be hard to do.
You can always take the business to civil court and sue them if you think you have a case. Some Atlanta apartments used to be famous for what I call false advertising. They would run a newspaper ad for a two bedroom with washer/dry connections for a low price. The ad would be in the Sunday paper and I would get there as soon as the apartment office opened on Sunday afternoon. Every time, the ';low price'; unit had already been rented, but they had many other units at a much higher rental price.
I wrote a complaint to the newspaper (The Atlanta Journal/Constitution) and even called them and complained.
But the same apartment complex ran the same ad every Sunday.
Is there a law against false advertisement?
Yes you can sue them for it... call the better business bureau would be a good start. When in court ask for proof that the car (or apartment) existed and the bill of sale that it was sold prior to your arrival.
you can call your better buisiness bureau or a consumers complaint office......or ask for an investigation by your local tv station....some of them like to chase crooks like this and it goes on live tv....good luck

Why do companies getaway with false advertisement on the internet?
THERE ARE COMPANIES ON THE WEB THAT CLAM TO GIVAWAY FREE STUFF LIKE $500 GIFT CARDS ,ALSO
MONEY,MOST OF THEM ARE ALL A SCAM. EVEN STORES THAT PEOPLE SHOP AT OUTSIDE.CAN SOME
ONE MAKE THOSE COMPANIES STOP SELLING FALSE
ADVERTISEMENT TO REAL PEOPLE THAT MAYBE REALLY LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FREE.ALL THEY DO IS LIEING TO PEOPLE TO GET THEM TO SPEND THIER MONEY,THAT THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE.SUVERY COMPANIES DO THE SAME THING.I HOPE SOMEONE IN POWER CAN STOP THOSE COMPANIES FROM FAKE
ADVERTISEMENING TO PEOPLE THAT SURF THE WEBWhy do companies getaway with false advertisement on the internet?
If the people in power weren't getting kickbacks from the people on the internet doing this, then it would stop.
I say, read everything before you react. Also, if it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.
The government regulates what is wants to regulate and it only regulates things that are not beneficial for them.
They half-*** regulate everything else.Why do companies getaway with false advertisement on the internet?
The problem is, they only have to give away one $500 gift card and its not considered false advertising. Sucks but its true. Keep in mind that there really isn't anything in life thats free.
It's a lie. Buyer Beware. The internet isn't really policed or governed. It's mostly free enterprise. So be careful. I avoid any of those claims. I was skeptical but tried it to see what would happen. I wouldn't sign up for any of those stupid offers that they try to sell. When in doubt, stop and delete. Close. Stay in control.myspace games

Did anyone else know about false advertisement comitted by Golf School INfo and Advantage Golf School?
I was looking for a golf school to attend and searched Google under the key words Golf School and Golf Schools. I ran upon an ad that read';Top Ten Golf Schools';. I reveiwed the articles written there to later find out that the website was owned by the same golf schools listed as Top Ten. If you booked with one school listed there, you were enrolling with all of the other schools listed there because they all the same.
I confronted the owner and he finally confessed that it was a marketing technique that he was using to dominate the search engines and obtain the business by not allowing clients to search the other schools advertising on Google. He also told me that they were not real golf schools but they were kind of a travel agency refering clients to the courses.
I then booked with Executive Golf School and discovered what a real school was. These people had PGA pros with over 16 years of experience who tailored lessons just for me. Visit them at www.executivegolfschool.orgDid anyone else know about false advertisement comitted by Golf School INfo and Advantage Golf School?
ummm.... sounds to me like you're doing some advertising too. It's not terribly difficult to find a good golf school if you use the right sources (i.e., Golf Digest). And it's not like you can just pay Google to block out other advertising. This post sounds fishy.

ummm.... sounds to me like you're doing some advertising too. It's not terribly difficult to find a good golf school if you use the right sources (i.e., Golf Digest). And it's not like you can just pay Google to block out other advertising. This post sounds fishy.
How to I report False Advertisement on the Internet?
I was wondering how you report false advertisement on the internet?? I drove 20 miles today looking for a business that was advertised online only to find out that the address does not exist. Him and I spoke by phone several days before and he gave me a quote on some A/C work to be done on my car. He eventually called me back after numerous phone calls to his cell phone.After my last attempt at reaching him by phone he called me back only to hang up on me after he said to me that he did exist and then hung up in my face. What type of person does this to the general public??I have his posting ID number but am having difficulty locating his ad on the internet as I was in a bit of a funk that day and forgot to write it down. I believe it may be listed on Craigs List. This is false advertisement and I want to report him as fraudulent. How do I do this?? This was waste of my time, effort and money!! I want him reported!!!!How to I report False Advertisement on the Internet?
Let it go.
If you report to BBB, nothing will come out of it because you don't have his address. BBB will just tell you they can't do anything since you don't have the right address

Did this count as ';false advertisement';?
I am not sure if I have a case or not, but this school seems a little sleazy. I paid for a 3-week makeup course at a so-called ';academy';. I had to pay for tuition, and had to buy an expensive makeup kit that I would need if I was hired.....even though no employment was ever guaranteed. The word ';academy'; is included in their name, so I expected this course to be part of a licensed, bona fide ';academy'; with licensed, bona fide teachers. I found this course to be very unprofessional and amateur, and dropped out of it, after realizing it was a waste of time and money. This place is simply a makeup store, but they want to make more money by also marketing themselves as an ';academy';. If they are doing this, one would think that their instructors actually have degrees in teaching. What do you think?Did this count as ';false advertisement';?
False advertisement, but it happens all too often.Did this count as ';false advertisement';?
All an academy is is a school for special instruction... not to be confused with an acedimic institution, unless they advertised that they were Accredited.
No license was guarenteed or offered upon graduation? Then you got exactly what they offered... training in make-up.
A 3 week course? Most States require much longer to obtain the required license. Doesn't sound like false advertisement, as it does uninformed expectations, and purchase.
Sorry.
Here is your issue... you did not do your research. You want to check before going to school that the school is accredited and that you will recieve a license when you are done that is recognized in your state. Some schools make up their own accredidations too so it is hard to flush these out. Did you speak to anyone before starting? Did they misrepresent the school to you or did you just assume from the word accademy that it was a school? You can ';learn'; something from anyone you meet... and you should learn something from everyone you come in contact with... but that does not mean that you will have a license to do the work... get my drift? I have a feeling that you have no case because of your own lack of research. Im sorry hun... this is crappy but there are dishonest people out there, and you may just have found some of them.
unfortunately, it's up to you to check out the credentials of any institution before you sign up. you can't really consider it false advertising.
Private schools (of any subject) do not require licensed teachers. In the case of an academy, they may be required to be licensed cosmetologists.
You should have checked on their license and reputation before spending your money.
Check with your local or state government. Typically, secondary or vocational schools are licensed and certified by the state.
Being an ';academy'; is a lot easier than being ';accredited';. That's the word you should have looked for.
check to see if they have degrees and if they dont i would sue for fasle advertisement

What to do about false advertisement?
I bought a car last night and in the ad it states a lot about the car includeing leather seats and NEW TIRES. which it didn't have the leather seats which I told he guy I would over look. When I got the car home my husband looked at it and it had several things wrong with the motor it leaked trans, oil, and coolant. He looked at the tires and they are in bad shape..The dealership had so much armor all on them they looked brand new to me. I took the car back to them and the mechanic is fixing the leaks but the dealer said it was a misprint on the tires and seats. How can you misprint in all caps NEW TIRES. He won't do anything about that. My question is what do I do?What to do about false advertisement?

Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
I am military living in Colorado and wanted to purchase a vehicle from a dealership that i seen online. I wired the dealer $1000 and called him about 1hr later letting him i know i just sent the money. My wife wanted me to confirm with him about it having a sunroof. I told her yes, but still asked and the dealer replied no!
I asked for my deposit back and he said sorry bud. I went home asking myself what made me think it had a sunroof. So i looked online and confirmed that it said sunroof on their autotrader ad. I called the dealer back and he informed me that it was human error and that it also says on there no refunds of deposits. To this day i havent signed any paperwork, whatsoever. I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
The dealer is in violation of the law. ALL deposits are refundable. It doesn't matter what you put it on, it is fully refundable. Sometimes a shady dealer might try to get away with it by calling your deposit a down payment, thinking the phrasing will allow them to keep your money. But that's not true.
A deposit is any type of payment made for the explicit purpose of a future purchase. Your deposit is 100% refundable. Also, you put the deposit on a vehicle with a sunroof since that's the way it was advertised. But they don't have that specific vehicle. Therefore, they owe you your deposit in full.
Don't call anymore. You now need a paper trail to prove your case. You need something in writing that can be introduced as evidence should you have to go to Small Claims Court.
Send the owner a certified letter stating that you want a full refund of your $1000 deposit within 48 hours of receipt of the letter. Or you will file against them in Small Claims Court. Be sure to get a Delivery Confirmation on the letter too, so you can track it to be sure it was delivered.
If they don't respond, file a claim against them in the county from where you wired the money to them. If you file it in any other county, your case will be thrown out on a technicality.
Bring the ad with you to court and you should easily get a judgment in your favor. Good luck.Car Dealership wont refund my deposit...false advertisement?
You were very foolish to send money for a car you have not driven and inspected in person. You should be able to get your deposit back only because you have not signed any actual papers. If they balk at refunding the deposit, tell them you will be in touch with the Licensing Department (which issues their operating permit) and the State Attorney general. If they don't pony up the cash, follow through with the calls.
It would be a small claims matter in court. You will probably not get anything unless there is proof of you giving the money like a transaction number and proof of their false advertisement. THis matter would drag out for years and happens alot but youd be spending more money taking it to small claims court than the money you lost...my advice is dont send money to anyone unless you have a signed paper or a refund policy
Start by filing a complaint with your local better business bureau and than your secretary of states office. Let the dealer know that you intend to file with both unless your deposit is returned. Try talking to various people at the dealership including the owner (generally the name sake of the dealarship) and write letters. If this doesn't reconcile the situation, take them to small claims court.
Why didn't you go see the car first? I mean it could have been missing doors and seats. You wouldn't know unless you went there in person.
Never ever wire or western union cash..... you will never see it again 100% of the time.
Buying a vehicle without seeing, feeling. smelling, test driving it?
You need to loose this money to garner a lesson from this.

What is considered false advertisement for apartments?
I moved into some apartments with my husband and my 2 year old daughter. Shortly after, I got pregnant and now have a 5 month old baby girl.
When we first moved in here the ad said that there was a fitness center here. In which there is not. (Important to a Mama with 2 kids that needs to get rid of that extra baby weight and can't travel far with the kids and still work out) It also said that it has a heated pool. (also important for the enjoyment of babies swimming)
Since living here a lot of things have changed. We used to be able to have BBQ's and then they made us get rid of them. We weren't even allowed to store them on our private patios, we were forced to throw them away. That's alot of money! We also use to have a car wash and they have taken that away from us as well. They said it was to conserve water, but lets get real they water the grass 2-3 times a day in the middle of the day, everyday!
Oh, and when we looked at the apartment they said our apartment had washer and dryer hook ups, to our surprise there is no hook ups and the laundry facility that they do have are always broken. I have called maintenance several times. it is going on 3 months now and they still are not fixed.
Sorry...one more thing. They also had trash service when we first moved in, and once again shortly after to that service away too.
One of the main reasons we moved here was because of all the extra things they offered. That is why we agreed to pay the higher rent for this area. Please advise, I am lost, frustrated and tired of getting walked on.What is considered false advertisement for apartments?
I would go over the contract and discuss it with a lawyer as well. Try finding something that you can charge them with. Also try talking to your neighbors, usually they would be feeling the same thing.What is considered false advertisement for apartments?
If you moved in knowing that there was not a fitness center, that issue is moot. You accepted the place with that knowledge.
The BBQ removal is likely a fire/safety hazard and insurance issue. They did not force you to throw the BBQ out, they required you to remove it from the property. It was your choice to throw it out.
If they told you the apartment had washer/dryer hook ups and the apartment does not, again, you accepted the apartment that way. Unless your lease states that washer/dryer hook ups are included, that issue is moot as well.
The trash service and broken laundry facilities are valid issues. You need to send management a letter (certified, return receipt requested) about these issues.

What constitutes actual false advertisement?
Labor Day sale ad for a furniture store states that a specific piece is 50% off the price they have listed is $399.99 with a regular price of $799.00. There is no notation any where on the page that there are conditions to the 50% off. But when we call the store to find out if they were in stock we were told that we had to spend at least $4999.99 in order to get the sofa for 50% off. We finally found the fine print on the bottom of the back page. But it still does not any where on the ad say that the sofa is not $399.99 unless you spend the other money. It specifically states that it is 50% off. I know that I am just angry, but I am really tired of the consumers (us) getting taken advantage of! How can I get the sofa for the advertised price?What constitutes actual false advertisement?
You can't. You are not being taken advantage of. You haven't done anything thing but make a phone call.

Is this considered false advertisement? (Burger king)?
My husband and I had burger king the other day.. they are having there scratch off game and on the sign it says upgrade to a medium double your chances upgrade to a large and triple.. so I went to a medium he went to a large we got our food and our fries didn't have scratcheys.. so they didn't double our chances like the sign said it would and on the sign it had a picture of both the fries and drink with a scratchy this has happened one other time but I wasn't sure if I read the sign right.. so isn't that considered false advertisement or am I wrong? ThanksIs this considered false advertisement? (Burger king)?
The store may have just had leftover old containers that they wanted to get rid of.
Well if they do not have any of the mentioned ';double chance'; items and never did, then it may be considered false. There is also the chance that they were out, and more were being shipped.
Although if it really mattered to you, you probably should have mentioned it to the cashier/manager while you were there.
If it still does matter, you can always give the manager a call and ask what was going on. He may even give you a couple free drinks or fries so you get your extra winning chance. That is a big IF though, since you waited so long. But it's worth a try I suppose.

100% Angus beef....false advertisement ?
Does it annoy you (in the slightest) that the food service industry has capitalized on the broad term ';Only 100% Angus Beef';?...Considering that cattle may be ';certified'; as Angus by a 51% black coloring ratio. (Red Angus...?) It seems that quality now correlates more with hide color (or breed, even if impure) than a USDA beef grade? Why not advertise instead for 100% Choice Beef...? Maybe KFC will start promoting %100 Rode Island Red chicken...(for the superior tasting, leaner meat!)........I don't get it?
*Bored, grew up raising registered black angus....and hate sales gimmicks.100% Angus beef....false advertisement ?
';Just what part of the cow is the Angus?'; - Jack (CEO, Jack in the Box)100% Angus beef....false advertisement ?
There is a difference in the taste of different breeds of beef. That said, it really doesn't matter as much because of the amount of fat they add. So you could taste the difference on a steak, but not as much on a burger.
It's always a gimmick.
Do they make mention of whether or not the cattle has been fed steroids?
ummm nope doesnt really annoy me... its mcdonalds.. nothing is ever 100% real....

Arby's False Advertisement? No mozzarella sticks on the pick 5 for 5.95 in Lafayette, Indiana.?
I live in Lafayette, Indiana. When the pick 5 for 5.95 was first introduced at Arby's the mozzarella sticks were on the menu. They then came off of our pick 5 for some unknown reason. Then the price went up to 5 for 6.95 which seemed horrible (probably because they ruined the alliteration). Anyway, I was super excited to see the Arby's commercials on television advertising the Pick 5 for 5.95 was back and so were the mozzarella sticks. I was in disbelief and figured they looped an older commercial. I checked the website just to make sure, and the website has the mozzarella sticks on it too.
I excitedly drive up to Arby's, don't see the mozzarella sticks on their pick 5 menu, ask if they're on there or not, and I am told no. Why me? :(Arby's False Advertisement? No mozzarella sticks on the pick 5 for 5.95 in Lafayette, Indiana.?
Usually those things come with a disclaimer that states something to the effect of ';at participating stores only';. Guess your local Arby's falls in to the category of ';non participating';.
Sorry. =(Arby's False Advertisement? No mozzarella sticks on the pick 5 for 5.95 in Lafayette, Indiana.?
I'm glad to see that Arby's is becoming well known for their Bait %26amp; Switch rip-offs. The last time I was there they said they were all sold out of their specials, %26amp; yet it was on a Sunday at 5pm with a zero line up? Yeah right! Ever since then I've gone to Wendy's.
Arby's is really starting to get on my nerves. Not only are their meals pricy, but the Arby's near my house says that they dont serve Strawberry milkshakes anymore even though they still have it on their freaking menu!!!
I'm in the Indianapolis/Carmel area. Maybe it's just all the Arby's in the state of Indiana that suck so much.
LOL Some may laugh at your question but I am an activist like you. If I were you I would email Arby's and tell them your problem. You will probably get a coupon for $5 or something while they fix the issue. I hope the the living God in heaven that you get those damn motz sticks for free pal.
its because our arbys sucks but. the one on 52 right? thats the one i know anyhow. i dont even go there anymore more because the last time they had this deal our arbys didnt have the cheese sticks on it. that and you have to wait forever there
Usually at the end of a commercial they say at participating locations only. That location may not be participating with Mozzarella sticks!
Sorry dude they get around the bait and switch by saying on the ads prices and participation may vary. meaning it might be there or it might not.
They don't have them here either.
Awww shucks! What is wrong with those people!
that sux they did that at subway to me with the 5 doller foot long
Arby's is a Commie, let's go blow them up!....They stopped making Southwest Sauce too...What's up with that? :(
i've had them and trust me, that's a good thing.
