Dwayne Lane Dodge (also a Chevy dealer) in Everett, WA is running a misleading promotion to lure unsuspecting prospects onto their sales floor. You receive a scratch card with four chances to win. The games are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. When you scratch off the covering, it looks like you have won game four. The accompanying flier says that you could win four different items enumerated by Roman numerals. Number IV is $10,000.00.
When you get to the dealership it is explained to you that winning game four actually gets you a cheesy trip to Las Vegas. When you complain that you thought that you had won $10,000, the salesman says, "Yes, that is kind of misleading, but those numbers," (he points to the scratch ticket), " are Arabic, and those numbers," (pointing to the flier) "are Roman. Yeah, it sucks and we have filed a complaint because we don't do business that way."
Sorry pal, but you ARE doing business that way.
And it sucks.
