Oh, I'm sure there's plenty of people who are only too willing to respond to a
message plastered on their screen - however, given the rather deceptive
methods that are employed, combined with the very deceptive text that tends to
be placed in the boxes, it's more likely that the businesses advertised using
such means are going to find themselves complained about to their state's AG.
Generally, a business that is so dodgy that it has to advertise using deceit
is not the sort of business that wants its practices to be investigated.
