False Advertising
False advertising is defined as the act of publishing, transmitting, or otherwise publicly circulating an advertisement containing a false claim, or statement, made intentionally (or recklessly) to promote the sale of property, goods, or services.

A number of governments use regulations to limit false advertising.

Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service.
