Spanish Speaking Advertisers; Crime Does Not Pay

Certainly it should be known that crime does not pay when it comes to advertising and yet people still persist. Take the recent action in New Jersey where the Federal Trade Commission is going after Spanish Speaking advertisers who make bogus claims to entice unsuspecting consumers who do not speak English?

In April the FTC and nearly 60 other consumer protection groups surfed the Internet, read newspapers, listened to the radio and watched TV ads to see if they could catch fraudulent misrepresentations in advertising. They plan to use the Consumer Fraud Act to tackle these businesses. These agencies also worked with Central American Countries in the sting operation. Most of the ads, which were deemed to be potentially misrepresentative or unsubstantiated claims happened to be for things such as;

• Weight Loss
• Investment Opportunities
• Business Opportunities
• Credit Repair
• Disease Cures
• Health Supplements
• Work at Home Opportunities
