Goodbye Bait and Switch?
« on: May 29, 2007, 10:40:07 am »
Tough new laws to prevent British consumers being ripped off by aggressive doorstep sellers and bogus prize-draw scams are to be enforced within a year.

High-pressure and persistent selling techniques will be outlawed and for the first time also in Britain, traders and firms generally will have a duty “not to trade unfairly”.

I wonder if this bit will apply to services too, where a low price is quoted and then bumped up with extras? (I don't mean selling add-ons) — Advertising low prices to attract customers into a store when only higher-priced goods are on sale.
