Black Friday/Monday WARNING

I have noticed that a load of Marketers are sending out Black Friday "special deals" except there is nothing special about them at all.

They have the same price, the same fake scarcity.

I am wondering whether it is worth having a name and shame?

One even listed a usual price of $97 and a special at $37 I have visited their site several times over the last three months the price has been the same $37.

Does the FTC have any rules about quoting previous price?

Have you seen it too?

    Yeah, there was one in the wso section. I asked what the black friday sales price was since he has been selling on the forum for the same price for quite some time.

    I never got an answer.

    From my experience. Don't bother with those shady marketers.

    Just ignore them and work on your own business.

    They're just throwing the bait to catch the shallow swimming fish. Black Friday is just another day for them. They're desperate.
