Bait and Switch Schemes

July 5th, 2011 | Author: | Corporate & Business

Any business decision requires the proper amount of research so that you can make the best decision for your company. This goes for purchasing a product or service, or even entering into a partnership with another company. In some cases, businesses act in bad faith or dishonestly in order to make a sale and post a larger profit, and when they do, they could be ripping you off.

In many cases, businesses will charge you for one product, and yet provide you with a different, less-valuable product than what you thought you were purchasing. In these instances, you need to consult with a legal representative in order to protect yourself or your company’s best interest. Contact an experienced class action lawsuit lawyer today for more information about possibly joining with other individuals or companies to fight unfair and unlawful business practices.

What is a Bait and Switch Scheme?

Bait and switch is a fraudulent act in which businesses “bait” customers by advertising one low price on a product before “switching” the price when the customer decides to purchase the product or service. If a company intentionally misleads customers, they may be accused of fraud. Some examples of bait and switch tactics are:

  • Offering a product that is non-existent
  • Offering a guaranteed warranty and not fulfilling it
  • Selling a defective product
  • Advertising one price then asking for another
  • Tacking on hidden fees

If you have been the victim of a bait and switch scheme,  there is a good chance that others have suffered similarly, and you may be able to join with them to take legal action.
