FTC Targets P&G and Longines Over Sweepstakes Advertising

The FTC charges Procter & Gamble and Longines-Wittnauer with false sweepstakes claims and not awarding most prizes. It cites odds against grand prizes in Join the Jet Set and income for life cases, noting settlements likely as P&G exits sweepstakes promotions. Longines-Wittnauer says it updated procedures since 1969 and will review the complaint.

Tax Return Firms Eyed by FTC

The Federal Trade Commission probes tax return preparers for possible false advertising and misuse of tax data. The FTC works with the IRS in an across the board inquiry, which seeks advertising misrepresentations and improper use of tax return information for credit data or mailing lists. The investigation focuses on reports of selective mailing lists and whether ads mislead about taxpayer representation before the government and about overpayment due to accounting errors.
