> 2. It's trying to sell something / exploit people.

Are these synonymous?



No. I'm drawing a distinction between “I want to sell you something” and “click this link to a website that strongly resembles, but is not, YourBank to transfer all your money to us.”


I think / is usually reserved for synonyms. Should just use the word "or" if it's this or that.


Yes / No
