Certain undocumented folk, using a translation page have found the communities they want to live in from an internet cafe in Central America, so certainly the regulators can find a retailer or community making advertising claims about financing they are prohibited by law from making.From a regulator’s perspective, the entity that is willing to violate the rules on advertising financing, is likely willing to violate or ignore other rules as well.
