Title: More Shifty Business From Kogan Australia.
Post by: Muttley Snickers on May 23, 2019, 05:04:13 am

I just noticed a discussion on the OZ Bargain site regarding another instance of Kogan Australia engaging in questionable business practices and dodgy marketing campaigns. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have once again commenced legal proceedings against the company but previous fines for similar activity clearly hasn't been a deterrent.

Disclaimer: I've never bought anything from Kogan and have absolutely no interest whatsoever in any of their products, marketing wank or lack of customer service.   ::) :P

Thanks Muttley  :-+   Manu people buy one price only and there are many business ready to take advantage.   He's always been dodgy I'm glad they are after him but suspect it'll be a small slap on the hand as usual.

Not too different from the Ebay sales when having x% off a number of sellers who then jack their prices to compensate.

Apparently it's a learned tactic from our politicians and their promises.
