We see plenty of misleading and fake advertisements in our day-to-day lives. A lot of people assume buying weight-loss pills gonna achieve great results after watching the TV Commercials. Even the publicity offered by celebrities will make them believe so. It's only after placing the order, People get to know how they had been cheated.
During the debate on misleading and fake advertisements in Rajya Sabha, Venkaiah Naidu disclosed how he was fooled by a weight-loss ad. 'After becoming Vice President, I came across an Ad assuring weight loss in a certain period. I had paid Rs 1,000 for it. Instead of receiving the delivery, I received a mail informing that there was another tablet which I should buy for the magical weight loss. I was told medication will be sent only after the second payment (Rs 1,000). Then, I brought the matter to the notice of Consumer Affairs Ministry. During the inquiry, It came to light that the company wasn't based in New Delhi but USA. Something should be done about such Advertisements,' he said.
Centre is seriously working on putting an end to such misleading/fake Ads. The New Bill will be a huge relief to the Consumers who are trapped with attractive commercials.
