I'm a Facebook user in Australia. I saw this sponsored ad on my homepage
"Get 16GB Apple Ipads for $40.88. Limit 1/Customer. Australia only"
When I went to that website, there was no process of ordering the Ipads for that price. When I made an enquiry to the company, they advised quote:
"Hello.
Thank you for contacting Deal Fun.
Please note, the prices you see in an advertisement or any promotional material is an example of the potential selling price.
There isn't a guarantee any item can be purchased at any price.
The iPad may sell for $40.88 and it may sell for less or more. It depends on the competitiveness of the auction.
We do not have any auctions where you can buy an iPad at this price.
We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused.
Regards,
Karla, Customer Relations".
Clearly this is deceptive conduct, a breach of terms with Facebook (to advertise one thing but have no intention of carrying through with the advertised price). Nor is there any indiciation that this is an auction house. I have had a few discussions with Dealfun but they are leaving no alternative but to take this further.
Has anyone else had this or similar issues with Dealfun.com?
I noticed that they displayed the same ad over the weekend so it is clearly intentional to mislead the public with their advertising.
If there is an option to load the image (of the ad) onto this site for reference, please let me know.
