  • The HSBC high interest savings account is actually very misleading

    The HSBC high interest savings account is actually very misleading, if you read TC carefully. It's actually more like a 90-day term non-cashable GIC. If you withdraw all money from account before Jan 31 2023, you don't get the promoted interest of 4.75/4.9% ...

  • Misleading "Canadian" online retailers that stiff you with surprise taxes/customs/brokerage fees

    There has been a lot of RFD discussion about these kinds of online retailers lately: Canadian-looking websites with .ca domains and pricing and shipping fees in Canadian dollars. What they hide from you is that they aren't Canadian at all, they are foreign websites and/or source items from outside C...

  • Misleading 3G unlimited Speed from MVNO - limited tethering ( no Windows, Android, iPhones )

    I just switched from Bell to an MVNO. It was too good to be true $75/mo for 30GB at 5G speeds and unlimited data at 3G thereafter - it's working off the Telus network. Unfortunately, the 3G speed is not what I had with Lucky mobile, but 512kbps. Furthermore, there are tethering limiting capabilities...

And some retailers like Old Navy/Gap claim to have limited time only deals, expiring at midnight, but they have the same set of rotating ...

  • TD GICs: misleading advertising on their website

    I recently purchased a GIC from TD Bank through their website and was lead to believe that it was 5% per annum guaranteed and up to 12% overall. However, what I actually purchased was less than 1% per annum and maximum 12% for *five years*. This is the "TD Canadian Top 60 GIC". If this is ...

  • Misleading ad or am I just incredibly dumb?

    Wife and I purchased a mattress yesterday from The Sleep Factory. They had a Canada Day promo that advertised free box springs with a purchase of select mattresses. When we went to the store there was no pricing anywhere just the flyers on a table with the ad. We purchased the mattress on the front ...

  • Misleading "Deals" for Fake / Grey Market Products

    ... Link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B073JYC4XM/ At first glance, this reads like a typical Amazon listing, but I think it's a carefully disguised and misleading scam. Read the listing carefully: - In the fine print near the bottom, it states "card only" and doesn't come with the retail packaging ...

  • Bell and their misleading sales tactics

    Has anyone considered taking bell to court? There were a few people who’ve taken them and won.This is regarding their reps guaranteeing a price for x months, then the price increasing.I wonder if we all gathered, if we’d have a case for a class action?

  • Misleading Real Estate Listings on Realtor Website

    I learned a new sales tactic agents can use and I'd like to use this thread to discuss it and see how one can take advantage of it. The tactic is simple - list really low. Ill demonstrate by example. A condo in Vaughan near Jane and 7 was listed at $399 800. This is way below market value by about 6...

    First of all, I understand that the market is always changing.

A development that I was interested in stated that con...

This to me not only is misleading but makes me think if they just throw any number on there to please the law. What's even more interesting is if you visit the website you ...

  • Loblaws misleading grocery flyer

    So this week Loblaws has the Dole salad kit on sale so I thought I could price match it when I went to No Frills. The No Frills cashier said the grams shown on the bag didn't match the Loblaws flyer. Bag has 295g but the loblaws flyer says 357g to 408g. So I thought, ok no problem, I thought Loblaws...

Not only is the expiration date on the front deceitful and misleading but apparently the card is worthless now that it's expired and nothing can be done. So basically the way to get around the law of not having ...
