SCAM....Deceptive Advertising......These people convinced me to run an ad with their company. I didn't do the work to make sure that the country clubs and golf clubs they say they do business with, actually do business with them. After running the ad I received no calls to my business. I called all the golf clubs in the areas that we agreed to advertise in and not one of them had ever heard of the Country Club Life. This is a scam, please do not advertise with this bullshit company!
Advertising that makes false claims or misleading statements, as well as advertising that creates a false impression. If retailers systematically advertise merchandise at low prices to get customers into their stores and then fail to have the merchandise, they are guilty of deceptive advertising. Deceptive practices can take many other forms as well, such as false promises, unsubstantiated claims, incomplete descriptions, false testimonials or comparisons, small-print qualifications of advertisements, partial disclosure, or visual distortion of products. Anyone-including the manufacturer of a product, the advertising agency preparing the advertisement, the retailer, or even a celebrity who endorses a product-can be prosecuted for making unsubstantiated claims about a product or service. As a matter of fact, any advertising that leads the consumer to make purchase decisions based on false assumptions about the price and quality of competitive products is considered deceptive practice and is punishable by law. Responsibility for enforcement of the laws dealing with unfair and deceptive advertising comes under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
