Financial risks on the internet and with mobile phones
On the topic
The new options for shopping via the internet or mobile phone make it possible to do your shopping comfortably from home. But not all bargains that you find are bargains. Apparently inexpensive offers turn out to be expensive cost traps in retrospect.
Free offers turn out to be paid subscriptions. Paid goods will not be delivered. Supposed inheritances thanks to e-mail messages are not real.
All have one thing in common. You will never get back the money you have invested.
