Stories, that no one wants to experience:

The IQ test

Sam (26) thinks he is very intelligent. To prove it, he completes an IQ test with cubes on an online social network. After he has finished the test, he enters his mobile phone number as requested, so the test results can be sent to him by SMS. He promptly gets confirmation that he has a super IQ. This pleases him. But he is not so pleased when he receives a monthly mobile bill for more than 600 francs. By entering his mobile phone number he has apparently taken out an expensive subscription for further IQ tests. The test provider used a small asterisk in the text to refer to this subscription, but Sam did not notice it.

TIP: Read the small print

Do not divulge your mobile phone number, even on the internet. Read exactly what you are committing yourself to. It always makes sense to read the small print, especially the general terms and conditions.
