Question

A holiday sales flyer advertised a video game system for a significantly reduced price and

video game with purchase. Later that day, the sales associate told you that the store is out of
both items. Instead, you were offered a different system and games at full retail prices. What is this type of fraud called?

Answer 1

I believe it’s false advertising.

It’s like bait, they get you in the store only to tell you they don’t have the item, then proceed to sell you something much more expensive.
