European consumers are increasingly the victims of misleading advertising and social media scams. Through an advertisement, appealing things are offered for an irresistible price. After payment, the order is not delivered, consumers receive products that do not match the advertisement or are stuck with an unwanted subscription.
A recent study of the European Commission shows that no less than 56% of consumers surveyed in the last two years have been the target of fraud or scams.
