There is absolutely a connection between the false advertisement and the hesitance of people. It's in our nature as humans, 'burn me once shame on me' attitude. It isn't really a shock that today's society is slightly concerned with alot of ''promises'' weather it be from advertisements or any other source from which they depend on for every day products. I would even say the more this product will cost will add to the leery sense of mind because there is always a risk with anyone and any company to get something unfitting to what you were previously lead to believe. If people were to think that all things are as they seem or there was no jaded minds out there, then people would constantly be buying everything that sounds like a good deal, people that host infomercials would all be millionaires. Even I could make buying a handful of dirt sound like a good idea, it's simply the fact that we realize there is too much of a risk these days that actually keeps you from buying my dirt. There are far too many scam artists in the world these days as we all receive there e-mails everyday and hear there deals all over the television.It is absolutely a good idea to be concerned and even check into things before you buy them. This was a sense given to us to keep us from making the bad decisions that would turn out to be a terrible deal.
