Eyewear retailer Oscar Wylee has been hit with a $3.5 million fine after its “Buy a pair, give a pair” promotion, was proven false.

Between 2014 and 2018, the company, which has over 60 retail outlets in Australia, ran advertisements through social media, email, and promotional merchandise that for each pair of glasses purchased, it would donate a pair of glasses to someone in need.
