They count on potential customers not reading the contracts, or being able to do math or research themselves.

Typical customers for these types of scams are small offices with no technical person in the loop.

Another example is the predatory, abusive contracts sold for merchant card processing.

Whereas our local bank will do it for $10 a month, interchange plus 0.15%, no contract. Versus fees of 3%, 3 year contract.
