The Ministry of Commerce shut down an online store selling perfumes and oud after it misled consumers with a false and deceptive online advertisement, in explicit violation of the E-Commerce Law and its implementing regulation. The ministry detected the violation after the store announced via a social media account that it would give every purchaser a gift, then delivered different gifts than advertised.
