A quick definition of false promise:
A false promise is when someone says they will do something, but they have no intention of actually doing it. It's like lying and making someone believe you will do something, but you never really planned on doing it. This is not a good thing to do because it can hurt people's feelings and make them lose trust in you.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A promise made with no intention of carrying it out.
Example: A car salesman promises a customer that they will receive a free oil change with the purchase of a car, but has no intention of actually providing the oil change.
Explanation: The example illustrates a false promise because the car salesman made a commitment to provide a free oil change, but had no intention of fulfilling that commitment. This type of promise is deceptive and can be considered fraudulent.
