Consumer fraud laws, which exist in all fifty states, regulate the way businesses can advertise, market and sell their products and services to consumers. Generally, these laws broadly prohibit deception in dealing with consumers. Deceptive acts include bait and switch schemes - where one product or service is offered but another actually delivered; false advertising; high-pressure sales tactics; and use of form contracts and fine print to mislead consumers.
