German term or phrase: Abonnementfalle (Abofalle)
Unter Abo-Fallen versteht man Internetseiten, wo ein Gratisangebot vortäuscht wird (Hausaufgabenhilfe, Partnervermittlung, Software-Download). Irgendwo versteckt steht dann, dass man ein Abonnement abschließt, wenn man sich anmeldet. Sobald man bei der Anmeldung seine Daten bekanntgegeben hat, bekommt man per Post eine Zahlungsaufforderung.
