What is to investigate? It was the real deal. If you bought one suit
you paid the same price as if you got the three free. Perfectly legal.
Last week I went to the store to pick up a few things for the holidays.
I got a 12 pack of Coke. The register would charge me $5.99 for it if
I only bought one, but if a second one rang up I would get the 2 for $5
sale price. I got the second one.
