This is how you see the phone dealers 'and event vendors' full cunning

Based on our review of scams linked to telephone sales and mobile subscriptions, we have compiled a list of full tricks for you to watch out for on the Plusredaction.

The seller says that as a loyal customer you should receive a "gift" if you extend your mobile subscription. But in fact, it is often the case that you have previously had an increased monthly fee because, in addition to your subscription, you also made payments on a mobile phone that "entered into" the agreement.

Now that the bonding period of 24 months is over and the mobile phone is paid, you should be able to get a lower monthly fee. But instead, the seller wants to trick you into a new product, which should motivate that the monthly fee for you will be the same - but give the seller extra commission.

By claiming to call from your carrier, or someone who works with your carrier, the seller gains your trust. Unfortunately, it can be pure scam. Through leading questions, the seller guesses what you have for the operator and the approximate monthly cost. In the worst case, you are tricked into signing an agreement that has no connection whatsoever to your existing subscription.

The seller asks if you received your discount. "What discount?", You wonder, and kindly lends your ID card or bank ID to the seller who promises "look up what you have for a subscription solution today". But in fact, the seller checks your credit rating.

After doing a quick credit check on the customer, the seller tries to "max the customer", that is to sell on the customer as many subscriptions, or as high monthly costs, as the client allows.

In the telecom industry, sellers can sometimes collaborate with several different operators, which in turn impose different stringent requirements on customers' creditworthiness. In the first instance, the seller will then want to sell the operator's subscription that gives the highest commission.

If the customer has insufficient finances to take on more subscriptions from a certain operator, the seller may try to sell products from an operator with lower requirements.

One way for the seller to trick you into subscribing to more subscriptions than you realize is to just mention the total, and get your approval on it. Once you get the bill, it may turn out that, in addition to your mobile, you also pay for mobile chargers, speakers and all kinds of products that you never ordered, or that were claimed to be free.

In the end, a seemingly low monthly cost becomes ultimately expensive when the bonding period is 24 months. It appears that sales companies buy inexpensive junk that is allegedly worth several thousand according to the customer's installment plan.

To promise things that are not at all in agreement with the agreement is - unfortunately - a tried and true method. Signing an agreement that you have not read through is thus a bad idea, however tedious it may be to read long agreements.
