1️⃣ 💳 ‘No Cost EMI’ = Hidden Interest

They say:

“Just ₹0 extra, pay in parts!”

But in reality:

• Processing fees & GST are added

🎯 Hidden charges = 💸 More than paying full in one go

2️⃣ 📦 Free Trial = Subscription Trap

Sites like:

• Gym memberships
• Streaming platforms
• Resume builders

Say “7-Day Free Trial”
But don’t remind you when it ends

🎯 Auto-debit starts
Most people forget to cancel
Some keep getting charged for months

You search:

“XYZ company helpline”

First result = scam website with a phone number.
You call. They ask:

• “Sir, download Anydesk”
• “Verify with UPI ID”
• “Refund aayega within 2 hours”

🎯 You just got remote hacked.
Always check official sites or apps only
