I recall chat on these forums about producing backpacks in China for $6 and flogging them here for $70+. Airlines do it regularly too in response to demand. But when a pharmacist does it.....ACCC will smack.
ACCC will smack, possibly if media publicity grows too loud, with a feather duster and threaten to consider naming 'in extreme cases'.
I contacted ACCC about the Fed Govt's energy comparison site being very misleading & showing false offers/savings/prices (posted elsewhere on AFF). ACCC -
1) They wouldn't allow that.
2) We do not investigate the Fed Govt
3) Contact this Fed Govt Dept responsible for the site.
Duly contacted & told "We don't police the site, we do not take complaints, we pass on 'comments' to the relveant energy provider.
"So if you're told, and shown (as I took the 'senior' public servant through the pages as he did not believe me) you mean there is no process to ensure illegal actions are being taken by some Energy providers? Let alone follow-up?"
Correct!
Sure makes Amex look better & better. Despite some false starts - I've never failed in getting an issue successfully resolved whether it only impacted myself or was a systemic issue.
