Set Up & Ready to Make Money in Minutes Guaranteed! the ads claimed. The Internet Treasure Chest

Question:

Set Up & Ready to Make Money in Minutes Guaranteed! the ads claimed. “The Internet Treasure Chest (ITC) will give you everything you need to start your own exciting Internet business including your own worldwide Web site all for the unbelievable price of only $59.95.” The ITC “contains virtually everything you need to quickly and easily get your very own worldwide Internet business up, running, stocked with products, able to accept credit cards and ready to take orders almost immediately.” What ITC’s marketers— Damien Zamora and end70 Corp.—did not disclose were the significant additional costs required to operate the business: domain name registration fees, monthly Internet access and hosting charges, monthly fees to access the ITC product warehouse, and other “upgrades.” The Federal Trade Commission filed a suit in a federal district court against end70 and Zamora, seeking an injunction and other relief. Are the defendants’ claims “deceptive advertising”? If so, what might the court order the defendants to do to correct any misrepresentations?
