anyone who is familiar with advertising laws?

last night, i got an email from hp canada about their special promotion.  wow, the printer that i want is only $150.  i tried to order it online, but hp is facing some internal problems and could not take order at that time.  when i tried to order it today, the offer changed to $150 off the original price, not on sale for $150.  i am so mad and send an email to hp to complain about it, but they haven't reply yet.

last week, i checked out telus tv, played around the package on their website.  if i transfer to telus, my monthly fee will be reduced by 1/3.  wow so happy and applied online right away.  got a call back from telus, they said the information on their website is incorrected, my package should be $53, instead of $40.  there is nothing they can do.  complained to their manager, the manager call back and said there is nothing she can do about the sport package, but she can credit my account for $2/month for six months, since the actual price for fairchild is $9 but they advised it for $7.   so mad.  i told her, what?!? $2/month for the next 6 months.  you can save the $12, which is not even good enough for a lunch.  not sure how many people were misleaded by your ad., and hope it won't damage your reputation too much.   i spent hours to check out the packages, which worth much more than $12 already.

just wonder anyone is good at advertising laws, the big corps can use  fraudulent information to attract people to check out their products?  at the end they don't need to responsible for anything.

yes, they are, so be careful la

pkphilip - telus did accepted my order, but then, they called me to adjust(increase) the price.

news - they called me because they still wanted the business, they thought i would just take the offer.
