Scam Description

I saw an ad on YouTube for a product called Effortless Arthritis Jar Opener. It looked cool so I clicked on the ad. It had such deals like Buy 1 for 19.99, Buy 2 get 1 for 39.99, Buy 3 get 2 free for 59.99 plus shipping of course on all those deals. I decided to order the buy 3 get 2 free for 59.99 plus the shipping. I received my order and they only sent me 3. I emailed them about this issue and they pretty much didn’t care and said it was my fault. Thats a pretty ridiculous scam and false advertising. They shouldn’t be advertising on YouTube if they are going to scam people like that.
