FALSE ADVERTISING

My father in law, who is a pensioner reacted on an advert placed in the Beeld newspaper dated 9 February 2016 stating that he can get an test and a bi- focal frame and lenses for a price of R 799 and valid until 15 February 2016. He confirmed that the price is valid when he phoned them but when he visited them on 13 February 2016 he had the pay an amount of R 1099. On query the manager said that the advert was placed by the head office and not by his branch. This advert is however placed in an well known newspaper and the areas mentioned in the advert includes Kempton Park. This action contravene the advertising standards and is fraud.
