False advertising

False advertising on Facebook. Posted a 8kw system for R20500. Although a typing error they still kept the add up for several days... When pointing it out I was told not to make a big deal of it. Commenting was then closed and my comments and interest in this "special" was deleted .. False advertising is illigal.

ADVERTISING LAW – HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE ASA CODE? By Dommisse Attorneys When working on new marketing campaigns and strategies the legal rules and regulations that restrict creative brain-storming are usually last on the agenda. Marketing should be fun! And thinking about the law and possible restrictions will hamper the fun…. These restrictions do however deserve careful consideration at the beginning of each campaign. Do not be that company that receives a complaint from the Advertising Standards Authority.

Section 29 – requires the marketing of goods or services to be done in a manner that is not reasonably likely to imply a false or misleading representation concerning those goods or services and not misleading, ********** or deceptive in any way.

Section 30 – an adverti*****t may not advertise goods or services as being available at a specified price in a manner that may result in consumers being misled or deceived in any respect relating to the actual availability of those goods or services at that advertised price – this is also known as “bait marketing”.
