A smart consumer column

Last Updated July 2, 2020

Protect your life!

A smart consumer column - It should be like this…~

Protect your life! It should be a smart consumer column…


There is a trend in the vicious business law.

In this column, we will provide information on the latest consumer trouble damage cases.

I often see "I will teach you know-how in making money," such as "I earn millions of yen a month for work for one day" and "Investment method in which 00,000 yen is worth 00 million yen."…。

Have you ever suddenly displayed a warning screen such as "I was infected with a virus" or "All data will be deleted after a minute" on your computer?

Postcards, sealed letters, e-mails that contain unrecognized contents, such as "payment of content fees" or "take legal measures if you do not contact us"…。 That might be a fictional bill!

"You can't enter with tickets purchased on the resale site! ", "I paid for the ticket purchased on the Flea Market Site, but the ticket was not sent."…

You need to be aware of malicious business laws that took advantage of disasters, such as "can be repaired with fire insurance", "requesting insurance money", and "it's hard if you don't repair it now"!

In the coming season, forcible solicitation of marine products, such as "Now crabs are less than half price" and "Send by cash on delivery", are increasing rapidly, especially among elderly people! Why don't you talk about it with your family when you return home?

Recently, the characters "first time limited", "monitor price", and "trial" often found in online advertisements. Don't you get a great deal of information? If you don't check it carefully, you may lead to unexpected expenses.…
