Is it unethical to point out false advertising to the public?

Some of my recent posts have focused on the Phoenix Short Sale "wannabe" listing agents that blatantly lie about their Phoenix Short Sale track record - presumably in the hopes of getting unsuspecting consumers to list with them.
I can see a Phoenix homeowner facing foreclosure being swayed by claims of "we've closed hundreds of short sales" coupled with the claim "we close 90% or more of our Short Sale listings".
Fact is - not one Phoenix Short Sale Listing Agent (according to the MLS) has closed 200 or more Short Sales - making the claim of hundreds a blatant lie.
And, fact is - not one Phoenix Short Sale Listing Agent who has closed more than the dozens of short sales that we have closed (and there aren't that many of them) can honestly claim a closing ratio of more than 75%.
Our current closing ratio remains at 100% for "regular" Short Sales and just over 89% when including "Hail Mary" Short Sales that involve IRS Tax Liens, Child Support Liens, and other "unusual hurdles".
In discussion with some of my peers about the thought of publishing the real numbers from the MLS:
1. How many closed Short Sales
2. ... more
