    Such speculative allegations of possible harm in the future are simply insufficient to establish the actual injury necessary to support a claim under the UDTPA. See Coker v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 172 N.C. App. 386, 397, 617 S.E.2d 306, 313 (2005) (dismissing UDTPA claim for lack of legal injury in fact where plaintiffs sought damages "for possible future expenses not yet incurred");Southern States Imports, Inc. v. Subaru of America, Inc., NO. 5:05-CV-752-F(2), 2008 WL 2234625, at *10 (E.D.N.C. May 30, 2008) (concluding that plaintiff's "speculative contention" regarding loss of dealership contract and resulting future sales "does not suffice to establish proximate cause of injury, a necessary element of [a] claim under UDTPA"). Having failed to allege an actual injury, the Plaintiff's claim under the UDTPA must be dismissed.
