Summary: <p><strong>BAIT-AND-SWITCH! </strong></p><p><strong>That's an illegal activity in the U.S. and many other countries, when it comes to advertising great deals. </strong></p><br><p>It would be SO good, if it were illegal when it comes to #Hijackals everywhere, too.</p><br><p>In advertising terms, <strong>bait-and-switch is described as a scam</strong> that entices people with a great product of high quality at a very attractively low price. Once a person buys it, they find that they got a low-quality substitute with a no-return policy.</p><br><p>Doesn't that remind of you of how you become ensnared by a #Hijackal? You're love-bombed, made to believe you are the most amazing creature on earth and that the Hijackal would go to the ends of the earth for you.</p><br><p>Hijackals move quickly. You've likely seen graphics on Facebook that remind you that<strong> no one falls in love more quickly than a narcissist who has lost a job and has nowhere to stay.</strong> Whether or not that was your case, the Hijackal wants to move quickly: fall in love, move in, get pregnant, borrow money, wham! That's to establish control.</p><br><p>By the time the picture starts to come clearly out of the "love haze", and into focus, you don't want to see it. You want to believe the love-bombing. And, then, the abuse begins.</p><br><p><strong>Does this sounds familiar?
