12 Mar 2026 Excom Global Co., Ltd. (エクスコムグローバル株式会社)Excom Global ('Imoto no WiFi'): surcharge over unsubstantiated 'No. 1' claims €941,067
From February 2020 to May 2024, Excom Global advertised its rental of mobile Wi-Fi routers for travel abroad ('Imoto no WiFi') in travel-guide adverts and on its own websites as number one for customer satisfaction, for being chosen by overseas travellers and for customer service. The commissioned survey, without checking actual use, merely asked for impressions of the websites of the company and nine arbitrarily selected competitors and was also not reproduced accurately; a surcharge of 172,620,000 JPY was imposed.
Anyone advertising survey wins must know and check the methodology – responsibility stays with the advertiser, not the survey provider.
