Re: Misleading promises on the internet

Yes, I believe that these are false advertisements and have previously thought about filing a lawsuit.

I suppose that the entity to file a complaint with would be the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). If not them, they might at least be able to direct you to the proper place.
