If you choose to see yourself as a victim, then you are one, but it is something you're doing to yourself.

Operating their business in the best interests of their owners is not an "unfair" business practice. It is actually the only responsible way to operate a business.
It is one thing to say you're unhappy with the products and services you're offered. You are always entitled to be unhappy. It is irresponsible and indefensible to throw around legal terms like "unfair business practices" when
all that is happening is that you're dissatisfied. You can just say you're dissatisfied, that you're unhappy. You don't need to try to make your dissatisfaction sound more important than it really is. What you're doing here misleads readers. They wonder if perhaps what you expect is actually what you were promised, when it was not. I'm sure it is great fun taking cheap pot-shots at big companies, or at the government (as some do in the the transition threads and the
CECB threads), or at any big institution that frustrates you, but such unfounded attacks do nothing constructive. They just set readers on a never-ending death spiral of dissatisfaction, because it sets them up with a misunderstanding of the reality, crafted not by intelligence but rather by frustration.
