The ad starts with a guy taking flowers to his girlfriend who is busy getting ready to pay her car insurance bill online. She has her bill out in front of her (and it is clearly either State Farm or uses a logo meant to make it look like State Farm) and it reads that her total owed is about $386 and some change. 

The boyfriend says he can save her a ton of money and takes her phone and downloads some app and asks her a few questions. Within moments, he has a quote for her of $65.30 or so per month. 

She loses her ever-loving shit with excitement and boyfriend is the hero of the day!

I knew something was rotten and I watched the ad again just to confirm my suspicions. I got the totals for the State Farm insurance bill and then I took the actual monthly quote from the app... and multiplied it by six! Why? Because State Farm and many other companies bill on a six-month cycle for most of their plans.

Once you did that, the bill the hero boyfriend got for his damsel in distress became $392 or so dollars for the six-month cycle. 

What a misleading load of shit!

I went to leave a comment to warn others about this scam when I saw that the advertiser had blocked commenting from the ad. 

You pansy pricks! You know you’re full of shit but don’t want to be called on it. 

Unfortunately I shut down IG before it dawned on me to report the ad for misleading content. I wonder if I can find it again.

Moral of the story, kiddos, is to not believe advertisers. In this day and age, there are even fewer checks and balances in place keeping them honest.
