It seems like everyone is out to cheat or defraud you. Everyone lies now (because our Administration has set the bar on that) and most everyone is getting away with lying.
I bought a phone to make and receive phone calls and every time I use the phone - someone is trying to sell me something. Most of the ads are well made and look good - but if you really get into them - either the product that they are trying to sell you or their method of selling and booking an order from you is bogus.
They may say 'free shipping' but in reality they don't provide it. You go through the ordering process and at the end - you wind up not really knowing what you ordered because they sneak things in the ordering process that add $'s to their sale.
In many cases you don't get an opportunity to review your purchase - and if you find there is a problem with the process - there's no way of cancelling the sale.
This is my pet peeve today. I won't be ordering any product from my phone or the internet any more. If I can't purchase the product in a store, touch it, feel it, - I won't take a chance on ordering. I've been stung too many times before.
It just seems like everyone is out to do anything they could to get their mitts on your money.
