I make my living as a florist here in Vermont and when time allows I make maple syrup. In the last few days I been heavily involved in trying to make the consumer aware of deceptive advertising on the internet. So I thought I would post a couple of links so that none of you my friends fall pry to such advertising

The second link is article in Free Press this morning and I am the old guy in the chair lol. Also Vt syrup makers beware. I found a similar deceptive ad on Google under Vermont Maple Syrup and that was the title of their ad also and its a redirect to maplesyrupofmaine.com. It appears to be a pay per click and it comes and goes from the page you might have to goggle it a couple times but it is there and they are stealing our customers.
