Prevalence of false adds , stare us in the face every day . Very few stand behind what they have advertised . It has turned people against buying many products because of the hidden clause , or fine print . False adds use to be dealt with , now the individual ,has to spend a lot of money in court , to prove false advertising .

Web sites that offer free start up and help , on work at home businesses are a false prevalence , you click on it , go to the web site . You put in all the information needed , and you still have to give a credit card number . On the site ,you will not see hidden cost , or what will be expected of you once you join . It is only after you join to you see the color of the beast . The web site has achieved their goal , to get a new member to their group .

They tell you all the information after you have joined , you can cancel at any time . YES! You can cancel at anytime they feel they want to discuss it with you . At their convenience , you will have to jump through hoops , to cancel orders of product you didn't know you would be receiving , getting your self off of their e-mail list and many more unseen add lies .

The prevalence of false ads is nothing new to the consumer , all jaded consumers know that the sharks are in the water , it is only how to get from point A to point B , with out getting bit that concerns the consumer .
