A TV advertising company has been caught out for lying to consumers and leaving fake reviews on its website.
The Commerce Commission says Brand Developer Limited, which trades as The TV Shop, has been convicted of 13 charges for breaches of the Fair Trading Act over a period of nearly four years.
The court’s judgement is yet to be released to media.
The Commerce Commission said the company misled customers about free or bonus items for a product.
Staff also posted reviews on its website without disclosing their connection to the company, while at the same time removing some low rating reviews.
The company will be sentenced next year.
