“Palessi” sold about $3,000 worth of shoes within a
few hours and, after the shoppers paid, staffers told them that the
shoes were actually from Payless, according to AdWeek, which reported on the event Wednesday. “They are elegant (and) sophisticated,” one shopper described her purchase as, in a Payless video posted on YouTube.
Then,
the woman, who Payless says is a real person not an actor, was told the
shoes actually were the handiwork of Payless. “You’ve got to be kidding
me,” she said.
Another shopper, this one a man, said about his purchase, “I could tell it’s made with high quality material.”
Payless refunded the shoppers their purchase prices
and plans to use the video testimonials, already available on YouTube,
as commercials on social media and TV.
Bethesda is offering 500 in-game Atoms because of the Nylon Bag issue right now.
THIS IS A SCAM. It’s a Legal Loophole. Because they advertised and promised a CANVAS bag but sent a Nylon one instead, you are entitled to sue them for LARGE SUMS OF MONEY over false advertisement.
If you accept the 500 Atoms (about $5 irl), this is considered “compensation”, legally forfeiting your right to sue. It’s not because they’re sorry, it’s because they need to save themselves from getting sued. “We have no intention of correcting this issue” was their exact answer when questioned about the bags.
If you’re still willing to defend bethesda at this point, you are part of what’s wrong with the AAA games industry. You are telling these companies that you are willing to throw away your money for cheap products at a high price.
