Priceline hits a sour chord
Article Abstract:
Priceline.com was met with another problem on Sep 28, 2000, when the Connecticut's attorney general said that he will conduct a consumer fraud investigation into the Norwalk, CT-based online seller of airline tickets. The announcement was made a day after Priceline warned that its third- quarter revenue will be lower than expected. However, many analysts believe that the company will break even by the end of the year.
