bait and switch
Bait and switch is when a store advertises something at a low price to get you in, but then tries to sell you something else that costs more. It's considered dishonest and is illegal in many places.
Bait and switch is a deceptive marketing tactic where a seller advertises a product at a low price to attract customers, but then tries to sell them a different, often more expensive product once they are in the store. This practice is illegal in many jurisdictions.
