Unfair and deceptive trade practices are prohibited by United States law and by Florida law. If a company uses misleading or outright false statements in an attempt to sell their product, they can and should be held accountable.

Some examples of deceptive advertising include:

  • Fake endorsements and testimonials
  • Fake pictures of the product performing in a way it cannot perform
  • Bait and switch advertising
  • Using prices in ads that do not reflect the actual price of the product
  • Vague or deceptive statements of guarantees
  • Promising services that are never delivered
