Resolved Question: Mis-sold holiday... What can I do?
I am seeking some advice about a holiday that I believe has been mis-sold to me. I booked through an online travel agency (which I have used before in the past and provide a good service). The reason why I believe it has been mis-sold is because the images of the hotel I booked and the star rating provided by the agency (after some extensive research by myself), I found are wrong. The hotel was decided upon because the pictures looked idylic and although being picturesque, the location stated is actually right in a lively area (in Corfu, Greece) and rated 4 star. Looked perfect. The pictures, star rating and description sold it completely. In excitement, I've been researching the hotel most nights. It came as shock to me to find out that there is a completely different hotel with a similar name on the complete opposite side of the island, nowhere near the location I have been provided in the description or on my final booking confirmation. On the website for the different hotel, I managed to find the exact images which had been provided to me by the travel agency, for hotel I had booked. The images are clearly the same and the website for the other hotel also shows a map with the location on the opposite side of the island. Then on to the star rating. For the booking I made, it was shown and stated that it was a 4 star hotel (along with the images of the different hotel). I searched for the name of the appartment I had been provided and there was nothing under that name, only under a slightly different name but in the resort I had been sold. These apartments (which must have been the one I have been sold) are only rated 3 star. So therefore, although the description and the final booking confirmation show the location which corresponds to the advertised appartments, the star rating and all of the images are of a completely different hotel on the other side of the island. I have read through the travel agency terms and conditions and it does mention that I will be provided with the described hotel and it says that the star rating they analyse and advertise will be the star rating I receive in correspondence to the general ratings of that country. The holiday leaving date is not for another 3 weeks. I was wondering what my rights are in this situation seeing I have clearly been sold the wrong hotel and if it wasn't for me researching somewhat after booking, then I would never have known and neither would the many other people that may have booked the same hotel. I believe that this is a blatant case of false advertising and if possible I'd like a full refund so I can book somewhere else as the more this case unfolds, the more I'm put off going to this place. It is supposed to be a relaxing yearly holiday and I've already been completely mislead into looking forward to a beautiful idylic hotel when actually I'm booked into a rowdy, 18-30 prime location which looks bland and plays loud music 24/7. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on this matter. It's just something I really don't need. It's the first holiday with my current girlfriend and she's never flown before. I want to to all be perfect :). Thanks, Q&A88 moreResolved Question: Activities monitored by the Federal Trade Commission include all of the following except:?

There's been a recent flack about some commercials which got me thinking. Personally, I think advertisements have gotten out of control over the last 20 years. Most ads have nothing to do with the specific product, but advertise a "lifestyle" if you use a particular product. Case 1: Fast Food, Junk Food ads only show smiling, happy, fun and active people have the time of their life eating this food. You can be like this too if you eat this! the vast majority who buy it are nothing like the people in the commercials and I feel is a bit misleading. Case 2: Pharmaceutical companies. We are inundated with these "take this pill and everything is perfect" ads as well (following by a fast list of scary side effects). I think these have turned us into a pill-popping nation. Most of these pills don't work or cause more harm than good, no? Case 3: Creating a false demand. many ads try to create a demand, convincing people to buy things they don't need with money they don't have. Cars, gadgets, electronics, etc. What do you think? Are these kind of ads and marketing a positive or negative force on our society? moreVoting Question: Acne advise? Please help me?

"Homeopathy Websites Prosecuted For False & Misleading Advertising" http://www.skeptics.com.au/latest/announcements/featured-announcement/homeopathy-websites-prosecuted-for-false-misleading-advertising/ "Two websites run by Homeopathy Plus! have been ordered to remove misleading and unverified information pertaining to homeopathic immunisation and flu treatment, following a ruling by the Therapeutic Goods Administration." The claims include: “homeopathic immunisation is effective against poliomyelitis, chicken pox, meningococcal disease, hepatitis (all types), Japanese encephalitis, Hib, influenza, measles, pneumococcal disease, smallpox, typhoid, cholera, typhus, whooping cough, rubella, mumps, diptheria, malaria, tetanus, yellow fever, dysentery and many other epidemic diseases”. "About influenza, the websites state that the homeopathic preparation, “Anas Barbariae relieves the intensity and shortens the duration of flu symptoms better than anti-virals.….without the side effects” and “symptoms are sometimes removed in a few hours”. The websites also promoted homeopathic immunisation kits together with other homeopathic treatment and immunisation products." "The findings from The Complaints Resolution Panel state that although the complainant provided references for homeopathic immunisation, they “did not provide complete copies of the papers cited”. Further, material on the websites was “misleading”, “unverified” and “abused the trust or exploited the lack of knowledge of consumers”." Clearly this is blatant quackery designed only to make easy money from the vulnerable. Unfortunately, they only had to remove the misleading material and issue a retraction on their websites. Is this an appropriate punishment for advertising such misleading and dangerous health information?Hi Irenaaneri. Thanks for the input – my reference to ‘quack’ is not meant to ridicule, I mean it in the literal sense. Look again at the claims these people are making. It is complete rubbish, and either they are deluded or they full well know its BS. I suspect the latter. Either way, it’s quackery, because homeopathy cannot treat or vaccinate against any of these diseases. Would you like loved ones to travel overseas into dangerous areas, protected only by completely unproven homeopathic vaccines for typhoid or malaria? Furthermore, they lied: “Golden’s thesis contains the statement; “the effectiveness of the homeopathic immunisation programme could not be established with statistical certainty given the small sample size..”. In spite of this, and in lieu of providing further evidence, the complainant stated (in part) that the thesis had“indeed reached a positive conclusion with a high degree of confidence”.” I think I am well justified in calling this quack advertising.Kaye B - yes I've tried it. I've eaten whole bottles of homeopathic sleeping pills in one go. No effect.

I received a flyer for hair extensions in my mailbox that claimed that "95% of men prefer women with long beautiful hair" (it also pictured a scantily clad woman caressing herself with her hair covering her breasts) It didn't name a source for the statistic which I thought was interesting so I emailed the company to ask where they gained that information. She said they conducted a survey amongst 1000 people who were either clients or friends/family of clients & that is where they configured that statistic. I find this to be highly irresponsible as the flyer does not indicate any of this, it seems to represent the majority of the male population when only a small survey was conducted amongst a biased group of people. Do you think this is false advertising? I think they should have least disclosed the information of the survey on their flyer if they're going to use that information.I just thought it was misleading & aimed at people with low self esteem.

"Mead Johnson, Maker of Enfamil, Loses Multi-Million Dollar False Advertising Case Against Store-Brand Infant Formulas ...The nutritional supplements under examination in the case are two fats, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid), which Mead Johnson calls “LIPIL®” solely for marketing purposes and touts as promoting infant brain and eye development. PBM’s claim focused on Mead Johnson’s direct mailing to more than 1.6 million parents of an alarming blurry picture of a child’s cartoon duck next to a clear picture of the same image which suggested that anything other than the Enfamil LIPIL® blend of ingredients is inferior and will result in poor eye and brain development. Other parts of the false advertising campaign consist of statements that only Enfamil LIPIL has been proven to confer visual and mental benefits on infants, and store-brand formulas are a “cut-back in nutrition” compared to Enfamil. PBM successfully argued that these advertisements were false and misleading especially since PBM store- brand infant formulas have the same nutrients at the same levels as Enfamil. PBM infant formulas are formulated to contain DHA and ARA, and are sourced from the same supplier in amounts which equal or exceed the DHA and ARA in Mead Johnson’s Enfamil LIPIL®.

The media is constantly talking about children eating too much fast food, yet how does a child even have a chance when the TV is promoting a huge Ronald McDonald balloon as a false idol and associating their nasty fat food with happy thoughts. I know it's up to the parents to promote a healthy diet, but it's misleading when these food companies promote even healthy meals with misinformation about the calorie content, ect. Back to my original point. Almost every single float has an ad on it, and almost every appearance is to promote either a product or an album ect. Do you think the Macy's day parade is mostly about promoting corporate interests.Sunshine, you're not getting the point. As someone who researches communications frequently, I have done a lot of study on the effects of media manipulation on children. Sadly, the only way we seem to be able to get any form of entertainment these days is through the promotion of products and corporate interests. They could care less about whether they're entertained, other than the fact that they want more views to promote their agenda. If you knew more about this dark side of the advertising industry then you might understand.The ronald mcdonald balloon is more about promoting sick children? So it would "seem". It is common knowledge among political economists that corporations attach themselves to charities in order to promote an industry that is clearly morally questionable. Did you know that reserachers say that within the next few years that obesity will be the leading cause of preventable death over smoking? They lie about food products' health implications in their ads, and are are actually providing an acutely unhealthy product-this is common knowledge to anyone who has an education in this area. Hmmmm . . providing services to sick children on one hand, then promoting them to eat food that is proven to be the leading cause of childhood obesity , sounds like an oxymoron to me.Some of you have proven my point here. So many Americans like the proper education about corporate manipulation, that instead of questioning why we are being fed all these images, they accept them and follow suit-defending the very reason out society continues to deteriorate.Sorry, I meant to put "so many Americans 'lack' the proper education". moreResolved Question: Is Obama committing censorship?

Is this situation considered "FALSE ADVERTISING" or Fraud or whatever?? *Warning, mild NSFW*(censored images)?

An MATURE (as in rated M) game is made in Japan. Japan's ratings board or whatever makes it mandatory that some images will need to be censored when released. BUT, when a game is licensed OUTSIDE of Japan, ALL of the censorship is usually taken out, leaving a pure and uncensored piece of work. Anyways, this company, JAST, have decided to license and translate the game in question "Family Project". The company OFFICIALLY ADVERTISED that their translations will be COMPLETELY UNCENSORED. Many people, are of course happy about this and pre-ordered the game with that in mind. When the game comes out. The English Translation ended up EVEN MORE CENSORED then the original Japanese version!!! So to sum it all up: JAST advertise and acknowledge that their translation of this Adult Game is COMPLETELY UNCENSORED. But the product they sell to the product turns out to be EVEN MORE CENSORED then normal. Is this considered False Advertising?? Or Fraud?? Isn't this sort of shady practice you know....illegal?? Not the censorship, but falsely misleading the audience into buying your product. Also, I dont remember the censored portions being Illegal around here, I thought it was protected by an Amendment of some sort? More importantly.......what do you think of this situation?? Someone advertising something as uncensored, then releasing it censored. Now I know that "if you dont like something, dont buy it", but what about those who pre-ordered it??

I booked a vacation activity of a `Sealife Safari Tour' for 4 through http://www.vacationsmadeeasy.com/OrlandoFL/activity/SealifeSafariTour.cfm. When you read the information it sounds great and likely worth the expense for a memorable holiday event. When you go to book it brings up info only for the tour at Clearwater. The event calendar is also very restrictive for 8.45am only throughout every future period. Clearly they then can't offer the buffet lunch beforehand but we still decided to go for it based on the interest factor. When we arrived, we found that the exact same tour is available directly off the pier at $19.95 per head at every sail time during the day/evening. There is no marine biologist aboard and there are no times when they offer food. It was the exact same trip/company as purchased through this agent. They charge $92.45 per head. This gives around an 80% mark up for their booking fee for a trip which appears to be falsely advertised. I have tried to get my money back but their terms do not allow that. I have left a review on their website but no reviews at all are showing. That would suggest they block them to avoid adverse publicity. I am in the UK and wish to report them for investigation for the relevant agency. I would also like my money back for false advertising but stopping them from ripping other people off would also be a reward.

The Controlling the Assault of Non Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, known as the CAN-SPAM Act, was passed by Congress and became effective in January of 2004. It established a framework for federal regulation of unsolicited commercial email. It covers email the primary purpose of which is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service. It exempts email that facilitates an agreed upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship. It bans false or misleading header information, prohibits deceptive subject lines, requires that recipients be given an opt-out method and requires commercial email to be identified as an advertisement and include the sender's valid physical postal address. The Federal Trade Commission is authorized to enforce the Act, and the Department of Justice has the authority to enforce its criminal sanctions. Assume that a company which has regularly, and successfully, marketed their products through email challenges the constitutionality of this law.

I was sold 2 advertisements on misleading information from a yellow book agent where they told me that Yellowbook is the most used book, however in 6 months having the advertisement, I have only received 3 calls while my other advertisements are averaging me about 1-2 calls/week. As I researched this further, I found that Verizon had sued YellowBook back in 2004 over the same claim that yellowbook uses found here in NY Law. Verizon Directories Corp. v. Yellow Book USA Verizon Communications Winston recently garnered successful results for Verizon Communications in connection with a suit seeking an injunction prohibiting Yellow Book from continuing a nationwide advertising campaign that Verizon alleged was false and misleading. After a three-week bench trial in the Eastern District of New York, Judge Weinstein ruled that Yellow Book had violated the Lanham Act and New York state law by making false claims that more people use the Yellow Book than use the yellow page directories published by Verizon Directories Corporation. The parties later settled the damages phase of the case, which was scheduled for jury trial in December 2004.

I mean it's all calculated, pretty evil (self-centered), MONEY MONEY MONEY oriented, and machine like, business? That's all it is. No care, no soul, no love. Madonna won't care if you buy that Ed Hardy shirt. You'll just make EdHardy richer. Verizon won't care if your health fails and you can't pay your bill. Hannah Montana (and her father) don't give a sh9t about you. They just care about their own contracts and business dealings, and the fans are just a cash cow to them. They all want to make the general public believe (however misleading) that all of these people really care, but in the end,..it's all about their paycheck. It's all masked. All the displays we see in the malls, the cars we see lined up,...it is all pretty much business and profit, yet everyone goes on out there and acts like it's all good, we live in such a beautiful/free country filled with great people, when it's really no that way what so ever. In all reality, it's like we're living in an extremely evil, self-centered, business/money oriented society/world...which likes to ADVERTISE as awesome, great, etc, but underneath that false advertisement is about 100000000000 people sweating and working their butts off to make it look that way, doing drugs or burning out and literally not caring...about their product or whether or not you like it, it all becomes a machine. Some people play the machine better than others but, what surprises me is that,..hardly anyone recognizes the true colors of this world? Wy is that?I mean it's all literally a business. Deal or No Deal, American Idol, the concerts you go to.... I mean if these people were promised "NO PAYCHECK" for creating these shows, running them, hosting them, believe me, THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING IT. It's either because it pays well, it's one of the only breaks they could get, it looks good on their resume, whatever,... but it's still business. Are the masses that stupid? moreVoting Question: Why is Obama refusing to remove a misleading tax ad?
Obama's False and Misleading Ad A misleading ad from Barack Obama distorts Heritage's view of the candidate's tax plan. Help us correct the record. Barack Obama's campaign is running a TV ad called "Try This." The 30-second spot cites The Heritage Foundation and suggests we support his tax plan. Because the Obama campaign is playing fast and loose with the facts, Heritage has asked him to pull the ad. He has ignored our request. Here's what you need to know about the false ad: •The New York Sun ran an article in August incorrectly paraphrasing the view of Heritage policy analyst Rea Hederman on Obama's tax plan. •Obama's ad uses language from the New York Sun reporter who interviewed and summarized Hederman's views erroneously. •Even though Hederman never said what Obama attributes to Heritage in the ad, Obama continues to air the commercial. Heritage has made it's views on Obama's tax plan well known: •Shortly after Obama secured the Democrat nomination, Hederman wrote that Obama's plan would impose European levels of taxation on America. •When an Obama surrogate wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Heritage favored Obama's tax plan, Hederman immediately sent a letter to the editor correcting the record. •Heritage's Center for Data Analysis released a thorough analysis of both candidates' tax plans, concluding the McCain plan is better for the middle class. Under the McCain plan, after-tax income goes up by $5,100 for a middle-class family of four vs. $3,600 under the Obama plan. The economy performs better and twice as many jobs are created under the McCain plan. Obama's refusal to correct the record or pull the ad does a disservice to voters who want factual and accurate information. As a result, Heritage's attorney wrote to TV stations airing the ad, requesting they pull it immediately. We encourage you to let us know if you've seen the ad air in your local market.

My Transition From Wonk to Star (Oct. 31) Setting the Record Straight: Obama’s Misleading Tax Ad • Posted October 31st, 2008 at 7.43pm in Entitlements. Barack Obama has spent more money on political advertising than any campaign in history. In the case of his 30-second spot, “Try This,” we’d like the Democrat presidential to try honesty instead. The misleading and false ad suggests The Heritage Foundation supports his tax plan. Nothing could be further from the truth. We’ve asked the campaign to pull the ad and have contacted TV stations directly. Now we’ve created our own ad to set the record straight. http://blog.heritage.org/2008/10/31/setting-the-record-straight-obamas-misleading-tax-ad/ moreResolved Question: MRC Study: Nets Spend Most Time Bashing McCain's Ads, Little Scrutiny of Obama's ?
MRC Study: Nets Spend Most Time Bashing McCain's Ads, Little Scrutiny of Obama's Barack Obama was so pleased with the findings of a CBS News/New York Times poll [1]that he gave it a plug at the October 15 presidential debate: "Two-thirds of the American people think that Senator McCain is running a negative campaign, versus one-third of mine." That's what the poll showed, but do people believe this because McCain's ads really are more negative, or because the media have spent more time complaining about them? MRC intern Lyndsi Thomas went over all 213 broadcast morning and evening news stories that discussed the candidates' ads from the end of the primaries (June 4) through October 21. The results show the networks aired nearly three times as many stories criticizing McCain's ads (84) as hitting Obama's (32). TV reporters challenged both their accuracy and tone: ■ Accuracy: The networks challenged McCain's ads as false or distorted three times more often than they disputed Obama's commercials. A total of 18 stories suggested inaccuracies with one or more campaign commercials, with reporters challenging a total of 18 McCain ads as false, compared to just six Obama ads. CBS aired five of the six segments suggesting Obama's ads were misleading voters, almost always pairing a complaint about Obama with a gripe about McCain's ads. NBC aired one story doubting an Obama ad, while ABC had zero (although the network ran "fact checks" scrutinizing claims made by both candidates in speeches and debates). McCain's ads drew far more ire from network reporters. In September, NBC ran a total of four stories — two on Today and two on Nightly News — condemning as false McCain's ad saying that Sarah Palin "stopped the bridge to nowhere." ABC's Good Morning America complained when a McCain ad labeled disgraced ex-Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines "an advisor" to Obama, citing Raines and Obama's claim that they were not close. And the CBS Evening News challenged as not factual McCain's ad saying Obama pushed "legislation to teach comprehensive sex education to kindergartners." For his part, Obama was criticized by CBS for falsely claiming that McCain wanted to slash "Social Security by half," but neither ABC nor NBC were stirred to reject that claim. Back in June, CBS was also the only network to debunk an Obama bio spot touting laws he'd helped pass: "Obama had a small hand in both measures...and didn't even vote on one he cited." But FactCheck.org [2], a campaign watchdog, has questioned the truthfulness of 16 separate Obama ads since June — meaning that the networks have skipped more Obama falsehoods than they've exposed. ■ Tone: Apart from complaints about the accuracy of campaign ads, network reporters often disdained the negative tone of ads. Again, McCain was on the receiving end of nearly three times as many stories scolding his supposed negativity (66) as Obama (26). But according to the Wisconsin Advertising Project [3]'s review of ads from June 4 to October 4, and taking into account ads that include both positive and negative messages, "the tone of the McCain and Obama campaigns has been absolutely identical." CBS aired six times more stories complaining about the tone of McCain's ads (19 stories, compared to three about Obama's), while ABC and NBC both spent about twice as much time scolding McCain. Network journalists described McCain's ads as "ridiculous," "nasty," and "infamous," and had McCain described as "attacking," "blasting" and "belittling" his opponent. Three stories suggested McCain's ad equating Obama's celebrity status with that of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton might be racist. Network reporters may pose as the impartial referees of presidential campaigns, but the one-sidedness of their approach reveals their true bias.

http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/Obama%20for%20America%20Letter%20re%20NRA%20Ad3.pdf Letter sent to ABC Obama is an old-fashioned Stalinist. In this letter, sent to TV stations from Obama campaign general counsel Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign, once again, attempts to intimidate television station managers from airing a TV ad by the National Rifle Association. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/nra-firing-away.html Bauer argues, "Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations do not have a 'right to command the use of broadcast facilities.' Moreover, you have a duty 'to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.' We request that you immediately cease airing this advertising." The Obama campaign takes issue with an ad called "Hunter," pointing out that claims in the ad were called "false" by Factcheck.org, and were given three Pinocchios by the Washington Post's "Factchecker." In response, Cleta Mitchell, Counsel to the NRA, fired back in a letter to station managers that the fact checkers in this case are wrong. "We respectfully request that your station disregard the shamefully false assertions from the Obama campaign and its attorneys," Mitchell writes. You can read more of Mitchell's letter at the blog of Ben Smith of Politico, who reprinted it in full. Political speech is absolute. This is another attempt by Obama's NKVD to deny Americans their 1st Amendment "free expression" rights. As you read down the page you will see other instances of intimidation by Obama's NKVD. This is obviously a formal tactic of his campaign. Just imagine what these people would do with the full force of the Department of Justice behind them. Obama's assault on free speech reminds me of how Islam deals with speech it does not like: "Behead Those Who Insult The Prophet." As an aside, the "lawyer letter" is on Obama Campaign stationary. Obama's name in the letterhead is quite large. One can hardly read Biden's name. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_seeks_to_take_down_NRA_ad.html?showall ----------------- Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics. "St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign." "What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment. "This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election. "Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts -- not a free society." http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=newsitemMcCain has only called for Obama to show honesty in registrations, due to ACORN and America Vote! and all the fraudulent registrations.

Obama Wants NRA Ads Banned Saturday, September 27, 2008 8:10 PM By: Newsmax staff Article Font Size The Obama camp has been threatening television and radio stations to keep them from airing anti-Obama ads. The latest target is the NRA and stations in Pennsylvania. Earlier this week, the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund released a series of radio and television spots to educate gun owners and sportsmen about Barack Obama's longstanding anti-gun record. In response to the NRA-PVF ads, a clearly panicked Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are doing everything they can to hide Obama's real record by mounting a coordinated assault on the First Amendment. They have gone to desperate and outrageous lengths to try to silence your NRA by bullying media outlets with threats of lawsuits if they run NRA-PVF's ads. The Obama camp is particularly angry with an NRA ad entitled "Hunter" which lays out Obama's record on gun control. You can see the "Hunter" ad -- Go Here Now. Other NRA ads include "Way of Life" and another focusing on Joe Biden's record, "Defend Freedom, Defeat Obama." This week, Obama's campaign general counsel Bob Bauer wrote seeking to censor the ads at stations in Pennsylvania. "Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations do not have a 'right to command the use of broadcast facilities,'" Bauer writes. "Moreover, you have a duty 'to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.'" "This advertising is false, misleading, and deceptive," Bauer continued. "We request that you immediately cease airing this advertising." The NRA says Obama's camp are sending out these "intimidating cease and desist letters" to cable operators and television stations, threatening their FCC licenses if they run the ads. The NRA charged that "Obama and the DNC have been using strong-arm tactics reminiscent of Chicago machine politics to try and cover up the truth and silence NRA by forcing the stations to assist them in hiding Obama's radical anti-gun record." And now, Obama and the DNC have opened a new front in their assault on your First Amendment rights by calling on their followers to contact these station managers to demand that the stations not run NRA-PVF's ads. NRA stands behind the accuracy of these ads, and NRA attorneys have responded to the Obama campaign's despicable and abusive attempt to trample on the First Amendment by sending a thorough rebuttal to station managers. This rebuttal clearly and conclusively refutes the Obama campaign's fallacious claims that the ads are inaccurate. The NRA has set up a web site detailing its position on Obama at www.gunbanobama.com. moreResolved Question: To what extent should advertisers be allowed to use extensions/computer enhancement in cosmetics adverts?

I purchased a Jimmy Choo handbag on eBay for $900 only to find out it was fake. It's ILLEGAL to sell counterfeit/replicas, and needless to say, not allowed on eBay. Ebay has a team that identifies these and removes the auctions, but the auction i won was one of the few that got by undetected. The seller ADMITS that its a fake, but claims that it was not TECHNICALLY advertised as authentic, therefore she does not grant the refund. Even though the auction never explicitly claimed the bag was authentic, it was extremely misleading and had false information like "Made in Italy" (when the fakes are manufactured in Taiwan) and "retails for $1600!" I filed a claim with Paypal to get my money back and even though the seller admits its a fake, I need to fax paypal PROOF from an "unbiased and relevant 3rd-party" on company letter-head verifying that it's fake and why. It needs to be faxed to paypal with my case # by Monday or else I lose my money. I called emailed and called Jimmy Choo customer service and was told that its against their company policy to provide such a service because it apparently "promotes the purchase of counterfeits".

Unfortunately, scam artists also utilize the convenience of private mailboxes to hide illegal activities, such as credit card fraud, identity theft and schemes to swindle the elderly. In other words or simple terms, P.O. boxes and Private Mailboxes are growing concerns of the postal services used in order to single out P.O. boxes and PMB(private mailboxes) who have personal accounts instead of business accounts. We would like to have an address rather than using one of our own physical home address because you guys are aware of fans(groupies) can be a bit psychotic at times when bands are in the limelight destined for stardom.

All we want is to build a connection with our fans in order to solidify our relationships to remind them of upcoming tour dates, nearby performances, or any updates we might have in order to refresh the memories of our fans. We were recommended on some international mail forwarding service sites but getting an international P.O. or Private box seems a little suspect, wouldn’t you agree? Although they offer great services they only require your personal information….sometimes to much information. I have scavenged many postal services sites and some websites seem a bit puzzling. Even though they have U.S. Postal Forms and identification requirements they false advertise and some sites even have numerous complaints from previous customers.
