No, we're not about to start a witch-hunt over this.
Retailers know that if a good product is forthcoming, they will need to have that product to draw customers
or more precisely to keep those customers from going elsewhere.
That means that they will occasionally jump the gun in announcing that they will have the latest-and-greatest before they've confirmed they can even get it.
This isn't done out of malice; It's done to stay in business.
A business falling for a hoax doesn't make them disreputable.
