If they offer one thing, then deliver another, then it's deceptive..
Lots of main stream businesses have their marketing strategies, but the deliver what they offer, or they'd be hung out to dry..
It seems that the adult biz is the only one that seems to think it's ok to screw their customers in one form or another.. primarily because they know that Joe Customer won't go yelling too loud out of fear of people knowing what they've been doing..

Did you read those links I posted above I'm sure I can find deceptive marketing tactics on AOL and cell phone companies as well.
I understand you can't offer someone something and not deliver what they purchased
but we are talking about deceptive marketing tactics in luring consumers to purshase the product or service then deliver what they were interested in.
