15 companies that try to trick customers with “deals” that are actually cons

Some companies will go to great lengths to con people. These 15 instances are some of the worst.

Everyone likes to get a deal. There’s no satisfaction like knowing that you’re getting more for less. On the flip side, there’s nothing worse than getting conned.

Getting less for more is downright painful. And companies that try to dress up their cons as deals are just reprehensible.

Here are 15 of the most shameless attempts that companies have gone to to fool their loyal customers:

1. Snickers was sniggering all the way to the bank

Wow, two snickers bars in one! More like one and a half.

2. Counting to 40 is not this company’s forte

3. Look a little closer

6. Wow! A whole bucket of- Oh.

Then again, it’s not like dried spices last a long time, so why sell a full bottle?

8. Just imagine the face of the person when they opened this

That’s what you call a Doripoff.

13. I hope it’s not a hefty fine…

Who would have thought a tattoo place named after a Hannibal Lecter movie would be sneaky?
