Today on social media, you’ll find an interesting controversy surrounding Black Friday prices in Pakistan. Quite a few people are claiming online stores are offering fake discounts – that they’re apparently jacking up prices before reducing them a bit to give the impression of big price reductions.

We went through all of the most popular stores including HomeShopping, Daraz, iShopping, and what we discovered is interesting.
