Noob question

I know this is a noob question.

How do you prevent a bait-and-switch?

There are many forms. What scenario are you referring to? The more specifics you can provide, the better chances you have of an answer that is helpful.

Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud, most commonly used in retail sales but also applicable to other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by advertising for a product or service at a low price; second, the customers discover that the advertised good is not available and are "switched" to a costlier product.

So what context is your BAIT & SWITCH referring to? SBF?
