TINA.org Takes Action against Trademark Imposter Scam
Complaint to FTC cites violations of agency’s Impersonation Rule.
In August 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Dollar Rent A Car (a rental car company) for allegedly misrepresenting the purpose of “administration fees.” According to the complaint, the company misleadingly represented that such fees were used to cover the cost of processing tolls from roads requiring electronic toll collection when, in reality, the company kept a vast majority of the “fees” for profit. (Maor et al v. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (d/b/a Dollar Rent A Car), Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., and DTG Operations, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-22595, S. D. FL.)
