Numerous marketing scholars have studied the antecedents and consequences of a marketer's unethical behavior in traditional retail settings (e.g., Diallo and Lambey-Checchin 2015; Ingram, Skinner,and Taylor 2005;Román and Ruiz2005).In this research, we are investigating whether it might be the case that, given various characteristics of online commerce, it might make the perpetration of online deception even easier or the perception of online deception more pervasive (Román 2010). For example, the Internet is inherently an environment in which the consumer cannot physically experience the product, but nevertheless consumers must make decisions about products relyingupon online representations, thus it maybe easier for an unethical retailer to provide deceptive information about the product online as compared to offline (Aditya 2001).
