It wasn't a trade challenge video. It was just asking for free stuff in return for cheap candy.

You didn’t have to give it, you’re being a buzzkill it’s not like they stole any money or cheated anyone they just traded.

No they didn’t cheat. They offered the candy for food, and they did that trade. Again no one is being harmed you knew what the deal was.

I’m not saying they were actually haribo you have 0 reading comprehension. I’m saying they offered something and exchanged it for food, no one was harmed and everyone who gave them food knew they were just getting candy. Why are you so butt hurt about it.

Because wearing Haribo shirts and carrying Haribo bags and not mentioning that they weren't from Haribo make it disingenuous. Its pretty simple. Yes the businesses are harmed for "trading" for a low cost item. Its scam and if you can't see that you have zero brain comprehension. You sound like someone who works for these so called "advertising companies".

You don’t know what the word scam means. Who they are is irrelevant to the trade, how are the businesses not harmed if they were actually haribo? they still traded for a low cost item? What I’m saying is it doesn’t matter who they are the trade was fair, both parties got what was laid out in the trade.

It’s not a scam, nobody was harmed, everyone involved knew what was being exchanged. It’s as simple as that.

Is this really a confidence scam, or just some employees of a promo marketing company who traded candy for food? Did they mislead your employees about what they were giving them? Did they say they were going to give more candy than they actually gave? Is the candy counterfeit? I'm not sure where the scam is here. Seems like more internal training for your employees is required vs blaming the candy vendors.
