What would you call this if not deceptive? "Thanks for creating the non existent profile that we expect you to now create since you will arrive at the page that indicates your cooperation is a done deal."
one lady who sends me lists of files that need actions, but thanks me for doing them as if they were already done (as she does expect them to be done in the near future).
IMO, It's doubtful that most people would accept this kind of treatment.
Maybe it is deception, I’m not sure, I’m just saying I’ve run across other things that seemed similar to this that did not seem like deception.
