AUSSIE TECH RETAILER MSY LEVVIED MASSIVE FINE, AGAIN, FOR MISLEADING CONSUMERS DINGED FOR $750K OVER WARRANTY CLAIMS

Tech retailer MSY has been slapped with a $750,000 fine by the Australian consumer watchdog ACCC for misleading customers on product warranties. And this isn’t the first time either. In 2012, the retailer — which runs 28 stores across the country, plus an online shopfront — was fined $203,000 for practically the same reason. It has come to light that MSY amended their terms and conditions after ACCC sent a letter back in 2010, but these were removed by early 2013, and reinstated back again only in February 2016.
