ITechWorld Misleading Advertising - Pricing

LAlpine58 on 17/08/2024 - 14:14

Came across these advertisements where they are only advertising the AfterPay installment pricing, not the full price. (I.e. 25% of the price).

Very misleading, and there's a whole bunch of them from this company.

Is this legal?

Can't help but think going to be a PITA to deal with if this is their behaviour.

$xx.xx with 4 payments, sounds pretty clear to me.

  But "Only $xx.xx with 4 payments" is intentionally misleading.

  Clear that the total is $177 or $712?

Price is 711.56 or 177.89?

If its the former, IMO, it is misleading and should say "4 payments of" in addition to the full price.

  Yep, price is the $711.

Your first mistake was giving attention to any social media ads. Majority are misleading, if not outright scams. There's nothing of value to be gained.
