▪ It is misleading and illegal for traders to provide inaccurate information about the lack of availability of a product to pressure consumers into paying above-normal prices.

▪ Exploiting consumers’ fears and concerns to impair their judgement when making a purchase decision is an illegal aggressive sales practice.
