Prize competitions for shopping, excluding shops in three municipalities

(ANSA) – FROSINONE, APRIL 14 – The shops of three small Italian municipalities – Alatri, Veroli and Canicattì – are the only ones not able to participate in the main prize competitions combined with the sale of household products and foodstuffs of well-known brands. The competitions are open to consumers who shop in any Italian store or in the Republic of San Marino “excluding the stores in the Municipalities of Alatri (Frosinone), Veroli (Frosinone) and Canicattì (Agrigento)”. In some cases, the exclusion also concerns the shops in Grumo Appula (Bari) and Biccari (Foggia). It is written in black and white in the rules of the ‘Wellbeing Brands’, ‘Discover the Taste that Rewards You’ and ‘Discover the pleasure of loving yourself’ competitions. The consumer association Aeci of the province of Frosinone reported it and asked for clarification: the president Matteo Loffredi sent a request to the Antitrust. He highlights that the unaware consumers who purchase the products even in those stores do not know that they are excluded from the beginning from any possibility of winning. In some cases, there are cars, video game consoles and trips to South America up for grabs. The case will come to the attention of the Alatri City Council and a city councilor has already announced that he will present a motion. (HANDLE).
