Question

If Joe were to introduce himself as Dr. Early to sell to Gensol, knowing that people would assume that he was a medical doctor, but never tell anyone that he was, would contracts entered into be considered to be fraudulent?

B. Probably not because he would have scienter.
C. Probably since he is giving his opinions of the merits of Gensol.
D. Probably because he would have scienter.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Yes if he is giving his opinions on Gensol just to increase the sales and he is not a medical doctor, and people will assume that he is, then he will enter in fraudulent activity. Obviously this is not a criminal offense but its not ethical.

Just to increase sales he must not introduce himself as doctor of anything, considering the fact that people will consider him medical doctor and rely on his opinion. Its purely unethical and immoral.
