Toyota has come under fire in the United States after unleashing a "terror marketing campaign" that has triggered a lawsuit against the car manufacturer. The Toyota Matrix campaign had people nominate friends as subjects of a fictitious scam.

What the NFBSK made them think that this was a good way to advertise a car?

Oh my I have a feeling she will (rightfully) end up winning a bunch of Toyota's money or they will settle with her for a bunch of money.

I think their "she agreed to it" crap will float as far as a lead balloon, if she didn't know exactly what it is she was agreeing to, she didn't actually agree to it. Her lawyer said it very well in the article

"So if [Duick] signed something, she's informed that she's signing 'A,' but in fact she's signing something else," Duick's attorney said. "It's written and it is consent, but you're not informed about the thing that you're actually signing up for? "It didn't say someone was going to be stalking my client. It was premised upon keeping my client in the dark, upon fooling her that these e-mails were real."

It's absurd for Toyota to say that because she agreed to get e-mails from Toyota that that gave them permission to prank her with a fake persona they made up.
