Colombia’s Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC) has set cautionary measures against Flash Mobile for incurring in acts of customer poaching by promising free plans to new customers that, in the agency’s view, do not correspond to reality.
The telecommunications operator must withdraw the advertisments that promised free mobile plans to users after facing a complaint filed by rival company Comcel, part of the Claro group.
