E-mails sent out such as those are actually scams, done by criminals. This is a radio station which is a licensed, registered business. They are held to certain legal and operating standards, just like any business. That's what democracy is all about!
The FCC is put in place like any other standards association to make sure that business is practiced fairly and according to law. Simply put, the radio station did not do this. This isn't about getting something for nothing. This is about upholding a certain level of integrity in business practice, and not allowing deception to run free. The intent here was never to run a contest to give out a chocolate bar. It was done to boost the radio stations ratings and mislead people into thinking they could win a large sum of money.
Legitimate businesses don't scam people, CRIMINALS scam people. The radio station is a bunch of criminals, and I hope they get what's coming to them.
