What Are Deceptive Marketing Practices?

Deceptive marketing refers to any advertising or promotional practice that misrepresents a product, service, or offer. These practices can lure consumers into making purchases they might not have made if given accurate information.

Under Georgia’s Fair Business Practices Act (FBPA) and federal consumer protection laws, businesses are prohibited from engaging in false, misleading, or deceptive acts in the sale or promotion of goods and services.

Common Types of Deceptive Marketing

At Law for Georgia, LLC, we assist clients who have been affected by a variety of unfair or unlawful marketing tactics, including:

1. False Advertising

• Misrepresenting the features, benefits, or performance of a product

• Using unverified claims (e.g., “clinically proven” or “guaranteed results”)

• Advertising prices that don’t reflect actual purchase conditions

2. Bait and Switch Tactics

• Advertising one product at an attractive price but pressuring customers to buy a higher-priced item

• Promoting deals or discounts that are not actually available

3. Hidden Fees and Misleading Pricing

• Concealing additional charges until after purchase

• Using fine print to mislead customers about total costs

4. Fake Reviews and Endorsements

• Publishing false testimonials or paid reviews without disclosure

• Using influencers or celebrities who haven’t used the product

5. Misleading Warranties or Guarantees

• Offering guarantees with unclear or unfair conditions

6. Deceptive Online Marketing
