Caution: Fraudsters use termination forms for a brazen rip -off!
Wien, Österreich - Attention, dear consumers! New fraud methods are lurking on the Internet, especially when it comes to termination of the contract. Fraudulent platforms such as "Termination Experts" give the appearance of an uncomplicated solution, but behind it is hiding adventurous pitfalls. In doing so, they pretend to support consumers in termination of contracts while collecting high fees. The Chamber of Labor reports that numerous consumers are falling into this nasty trap and receiving up to 70 euros for non -performing services. This often happens when consumers handle their contracts for fake online forms that are not on the official pages of the providers, such as 5min.at .
An example from practice: Mr. A. wanted to terminate his annual ticket to the Viennese lines and believed that he had found an official form. Instead, he landed on the website of a paid service, where he entered personal data and ultimately received an invoice for 32 euros. This surprise finally led to reminder fees and a total amount of 70 euros, which he had not planned. The Chamber of Labor advises to always use the official website of the provider of terminations to prevent nasty surprises.
consumer protection on a new course
Federal consumer aid is proactively in connection with the increasing fraud on the Internet. It pursues a cooperative approach to better protect consumers instead of just relying on legal disputes. President Ricardo Dietl explains that the focus is on dialogue with companies to find solutions that benefit both consumers and the economy. This not only works on the theoretical level, but also has concrete advantages for consumers who can benefit from fairer terms and conditions. The Federal Consumer Aid is therefore committed to enable a constructive exchange between consumers and companies, which promotes the acceptance of consumer protection measures.
By searching for common solutions instead of confrontational disputes, sustainable improvements are to be achieved. In this way, trust between consumers and companies is strengthened and long -term advantages for everyone involved arise. With this approach, a new chapter in consumer protection is opened to increase efficiency together and to better master current and future challenges.
