    Am I missing something here? Marketing IS fraud.

      Mainly so at “higher” levels, but marketing has legitimate uses. A politician you like campaigning is marketing. Advertising my little lawn service back in the day was marketing. A lot of great local places go under for lack of marketing. They’re awesome, but no one knows they exist.

        I’m halfway joking, but marketing does involve various degrees of lying.

      If I’m starting a business, then I guess word of mouth from other people is the only way to get customers.
