It is scamming if they are falsely claiming benefits for the upsell.
No one made that charge.
Besides, anyone shopping for a product, whether an HDMI cable or a new car, has to do his/her homework before making that purchase.

That is exactly the charge made in that article. If it is true, then BB was being scammy by making a false claim about a product and trying to steer the customer there.

You may be for schlock selling, but many people want to buy something like technology from a purveyor they can trust.
