False Advertising on Ebook, what can be done ? - buyerfortsk - Feb 13, 2019
Hello, many ebook seller here use false advertising to promote their ebook
I recently bought an ebook for 95$ (25$ for setup) it was stated :
- No need to communicate with people
- No need to negotiate or convince someone
- Don't involve selling a service
- No skill needed
And guess what ? After I bought the method, I realized that :
- You need to communicate with people
- You need to negotiate and CONVINCE people
- It clearly involve selling a service
- You need to know basic PHP coding, if you don't, the seller will help you BUT he's not here all the time, and he"s very busy to help you...
The method in itself work as excepted, but I feel scammed with this kind of false advertising
What can be done on HF to prevent that ? are there any rules here about that ?

Gather evidence, make a community alert being aware not to share too much as leaking is against the rules. Name and shame too.

Collect all screenshots together and post a deal dispute.

No rules against that. However, you can gather evidence and post a community alert and/or open a deal dispute if you used a contract to purchase the product.

So for example, if contract was opened with e-Book seller that claims something and it turns out it had nothing to do with what seller claimed - he can get banned?
