For example, when your mortgage provider tells you you should have your house insurance with them, too. Another example is when the company you buy your holiday from tells you you should buy the Travel Insurance from them too. A third example (UK) which is even more exploitation is where the bank tells you you have to pay a penalty for going overdrawn.

A real-world example of a consumer is a person who goes to a grocery store to purchase food items for their household. When they select products like fruits, vegetables, and snacks, they are engaging in consumer behavior by making choices based on their preferences, budget, and nutritional needs. This shopping activity reflects the role of consumers in the economy, driving demand for goods and services.
To prevent consumer exploitation, it's essential to implement strict regulations that protect consumer rights and ensure transparent business practices. Educating consumers about their rights and encouraging critical thinking can empower them to make informed decisions. Additionally, promoting ethical business practices and holding companies accountable for deceptive marketing or unfair pricing can help create a fair marketplace. Lastly, encouraging the establishment of consumer advocacy groups can provide support and representation for consumers facing exploitation.
