MANHATTAN (CN) - The Spanish Broadcasting System and All Star Vacation Marketing Group defrauded listeners of 97.9 "La Mega FM" in a bogus radio contest that misrepresented its prizes as all-expense-paid vacations, then demanded the winners pay a $399 "fee" and other costs, according to a federal class action.
Plaintiffs claim the deceptive "contest ... is merely a ruse to lure unsuspecting consumers to be charged exorbitant 'administrative fees' and other costs," including "a fee in the amount of $399" and air fare.
Plaintiffs are represented by Jeffrey Carton with Meiselman, Denlea, Packman of White Plains.
