Bait and switch use to happen to me before the internet was popular ( pre 2003 ). Before all the ads moved to the internet the ads were on newspapers like the Mirror, Voir, or J de Montreal. All a hobbyist had to go by was an ad with no pic. With pics and reviews the hobbyist can make a better informed choice. I had experiences where the advertiser told me on the phone she was 15 years younger and 40 lbs. lighter than she actually was. Mostly the bait and switchers were huge women, but what inspired me to write this thread was that I responded to an ad recently and things went OK, but many years ago I had a bait and switch where the woman looked like granny of the Beverly Hillbilly TV show at that same building. What are your bait and switch stories?
