In daily consumption, we often encounter some merchants using various tricks to attract customers, such as "buy one get one free", "5% off sitewide", "flash sale" and so on. These seemingly tempting offers may actually hide some traps that make consumers unknowingly fall for them. Merchants play word games, have you been fooled? Let's take a look at some common examples.
- Buy one get one free,Actually, I bought a TV and got a pack of tissues for free. This situation is **fraud,The merchant deliberately blurred the content of the gift,Let consumers mistakenly think that they are buying a TV and getting a TV,In fact, buy a TV and get a pack of tissues,Such a gift is not worth anything at all,And there is no correlation with the main commodity,Consumers can completely refuse to accept,And ask the merchant to refund or compensate。
- 50% off sitewide, in fact, the price is increased in advance and then discounted. This situation is false publicity, the merchant first increases the original price of the product before the discount, and then discounts it according to half of the original price, such a discount actually has no discount, and may even be more expensive than the original price, consumers should compare the market **, do not be confused by the merchant's digital game.
- Flash sale,In fact, it is used to stimulate consumers' desire to buy by insufficient inventory or poor quality of goods. This situation is misleading consumers, businesses use the psychology of consumers, create a sense of urgency and scarcity, so that consumers feel that they have missed it, so as to ignore the true value and quality of goods, consumers should consume rationally, do not blindly follow the trend, and do not swallow their anger because of the difficulty of returning and exchanging goods.
The above are some examples of merchants playing word games, have you been fooled? In fact, these are the business in violation of the "People's Republic of China Consumer Rights and Interests Protection**", consumers have the right to require the business to perform the contract, to provide true, qualified goods or services, if found that the business has fraud, false publicity, misleading consumers and other behaviors, consumers can complain to the market supervision department, or to the consumer association, or to the people's court to sue to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
Consumers are the main body of the market economy and citizens of the rule of law, we should improve our legal awareness, enhance our ability to protect our rights, not be easily deceived by the word games of merchants, but also be vigilant against the unfair competition of some unscrupulous businesses, and jointly maintain a fair, honest and healthy consumer environment.
