What are the pros and cons of false advertising?

The pro is that it can increase your sales drastically. Possibly a few hundred percent.\n\nCons are your customers won't be happy to have been duped so they won't return for more business (probably not a big deal depending on the industry), you could get sued (small chance but still there) and the government could step in and make you quit or even file suit against you itself (almost non-existant chance unless you are making medical claims).

Firstly, look at how the ad is organized, where everything is placed (text at the bottom or top?). Next determine what the purpose of that ad is. What does it want the reader to believe? How does it attempt to persuade you to believe that? (colors, objects, text).\n\nHope I could help you.

At best, they're fake.\n\nAt worst, and more than likely, they're a scam to try and get you to buy something, send money, or give out rou private or financial information.\n\nDon't do it!!

This happens a lot in America too, and I suspect in most countries. The advertisers want to appeal to our sense of patriotism or make us feel an identity with their product. It's not illegal, but it sometimes does feel immoral.

Not a single one on television or radio. \n\nSome press adverts in targeted publications can be interesting, for example for tech devices.\n\nAn Adverts job tho is not to work directly, but when you next go to the store and see 2 different products, to choose the one you saw advertised. This is the subliminal message they deliver.

Hard to say without knowing what kind of bag it is. I would go to the website of the manufacturer and see what they have to say about counterfits and knock-offs. A lot of top end manufacturers have a problem with it and have taken measures to add a feature that is hard to copy. Check it out. Bottom line. Things that are too good to be true are not usually true. It's always been that way.

You can complain to the Federal Trade Commission.\n\nTheir website says:\nThe FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true. \n.....\n\nThe FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

I recommend you get the cheaper one. They are trying to steal money from people by labeling it "official" as a marketing technique.
