False advertising from Vodacom

[metoman786]

Hi All

Have you seen the Vodacom Businesscall iphone 4s 64gb add on their website lastweek? Here’s a screenshot for those who didn’t.
Dani Shapiro from Vodacom’s head office just acknowledged that it had been advertised as such, but refuses to honour the deal (in fact she wants me to pay in an additional R5900).
This is madness – We see an add, we respond and now Vodacom wants us to pay more. (and not only more, but one heck of allot more)Here we go Vodacom, a classical case of false advertising.
Should Vodacom be getting away with these false adverts?

You know what “Vodacom

Because you use Internet Explorer you have been automatically disbarred from obtaining deals in the present or future. Vodacom regrets this, but it was due to your poor decision of browser

They'll claim that it's was a mistake and there is most likely some section in their T's & C's stating that errors and omissions be excluded on the website.

It does say "error on page" at the bottom left.

Take them to the CPA, screw that

Report it consumer protection

And who would they be, exactly?

We have a Consumer Protection Act, not a Consumer Protection Agency.

If you think black helicopters will descend on Vodaworld and guys wearing dark glasses and jackets with three letters on the back are going to jump out, you are thinking of the FBI not the CPA.

...and you watch too many movies.

I wouldnt expect them to honor this mistake unless forced to by the CPA..
