“Free Download” Scam

Scam Alert Letting Text on Black Background

Ugh, those “free download” apps that turn out to be nothing but scams. Infuriating! These sneaky software companies lure you in with promises of a “free download,” only to reveal later on that it’s just a limited or trial version. And the kicker? Once you want to continue using it, they hit you with a demand to buy a license or subscription.

It’s not only misleading, but also downright dishonest. These companies are preying on unsuspecting users who think they get a free app. They should be upfront about the limitations of the “free” version and the costs associated with the full working version.

They’re using our time and attention to market their product, only to hit us with a paywall later. It’s disrespectful and shows a complete lack of consideration for other people.

Do yourself a favor and read the fine print before you hit that download button. Don’t let scammers take advantage of you and your time and energy.
