give the runaround
To give the run around, to tell someone something not entirely true to lead them to someone else to ask, than to someone else, so the person never gets the right answer (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=run around).
They gave me the runaround when I called. I got a full tour of the facility by phone, but no answer to my question (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/give_someone_the_runaround).
Examples of poor complaint handling include: not taking responsibility for the problem, and repeatedly giving the customer the run-around by making them deal with other staff (http://www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz/for-business/dealing-with...
