The present study uses a notion of distrust derived from the seminal study of Kramer (1998). That study assumes that normal individuals hold paranoid social cognitions, referred to as exaggerated distrust, which creates anxiety and stress, and leads to severe behavioral responses. Empirical evidence suggest that after experiencing fraud, consumers tend to protect themselves by developing an overly dis- trustful view of online firms (Darke and Ritchie, 2007). Because marketing communications rely on norms of honesty and trustworthiness, breaking such values motivates consumers to develop higher distrust and personal construal of others (Posey et al., 2010). Other studies conclude that the induced distrust creates conditions of consumer ambivalence including insecurity and anxiety that converts consumers from being active to passive and negatively affects the consumer behavior (Elbeltagi and Agag, 2016; Moody, Galletta, and Lowry, 2014).
