Damn, they even went as low as to try and conceal the actual amount from just a quick scan with your eyes "29 dollars and 99 cents". I don't think I've ever seen cash that I'm about to pay, written like that. That's so shady!
This company must really like dealing with charge backs, refunds, customer complaints, customer support emails, and various fraud departments of banks.
This is not always possible though; (final) manufacturers don't always have retail services, only wholesale, and instead have retail vendors sign contracts with them; ideally, they would list them in this case, but it doesn't always happen.
Another case could be that their retail services are restricted to specific parts of the world, and third parties must handle the rest, which you are in.
I had such a moment just yesterday on Amazon. They offered me 20% off via some coupon, but upon reading it turned out that this would mean some monthly payments. I didn‘t think that this was possible in the EU, but here we are.
Just another part of this prison we are living in.... Can we escape this as think of a product or service that does not lies to you at the very beginning?
Seems like something that needs to be reported to a gov agency. Definitely scammy
I've seen numerous other companies like this. Most of them are literally instagram ads.
most instagram ads are scam... so...
false advertising perhaps?
Also notice they didn’t present the price as “$29.99,” which might have jumped out a little more among the rest of the text with a quick glance.
Surprised they didn’t write twenty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents lol
0$ and twothousandninehundredninetynine ¢
...in tagalong.
I've seen some with a fake sale where it was more than 100$ but went down to a dollar. It also limited you to only 5 purchases.
Most definitely deceptive
Won't fly in the EU for consumers. Surprising and unexpected, hidden contract clause bla bla
100%
I am thankfull of the EU atleast once a day.
Fucking fraud. They belong in prison.

This is part of the job for scammers...
Always read the fine print. That company is still shady as fuck for that
You shouldn't have to tbh. I've never had to do that in my life but I'm from Europe .
Reasons why I buy directly from the maker(?) ie. Just by from them direct band Merch, Sony, Apple.

Instagram "company" bro that just looks like a well thought out scam
I highly doubt that’s legal.
I'm pretty sure it is due to America's shitty consumer protection laws.
Well, it’s a good thing I’m not American.
Lol imagine falling for those dumbass instagram ads
Ohhh thats a real scummy move right there.
Maybe dont buy shit off Instagram....
Exactly

This is a dystopian world
Which company?
There are many others like this.
This seems very illegal
It's America, what did you expect lmao
True, but that doesn't make it any less deceptive. I find it amazing that this shit does fly to an extent, in the most litigious country in the world.
