LA CITY ATTORNEY SUING SEARS, KOHL'S, MACY'S, JC PENNEY FOR ALLEGED PRICE SCHEME
http://abc7.com/news/la-city-attorney-suing-4-big-retailers-for-alleged-pricing-scheme/1646009/The Los Angeles city attorney accused four big stores of using pricing schemes in a series of lawsuits filed on Thursday.
The lawsuit alleges JC Penney, Sears, Kohl's and Macy's engage in deceptive advertising by putting out a high "list price" or "regular price" on items that were never actually for sale at that original price.
The litigation states the practice makes customers believe they're getting a better deal than they actually are.
"If they're doing this, then I think that's very wrong, especially taking advantage of people around Christmas time," shopper Robert Rolfe said.
