30+ questions in a “free test”, so you feel bad about leaving
5 “are you sure?” steps before they let you cancel

A course of 6 lessons

The cheap trial trap, ads dressed up as articles, long quizzes before the price, pressure on your feelings, extra offers right after you pay, and the cancellation maze. Every lesson has a hands-on example and a short quiz.

NoHack: how not to get fooled online and on the phone

Short cartoons and exercises in plain words: why you should never tap links in messages, how to spot a fake call from "your bank" and how to keep your money safe.

Check a site

Paste a link to a payment page or an “article” — we’ll look for signs of a trap: auto-renewal, timers, hidden terms, a site that only appeared recently.

Check a screenshot

Already paid, and now they’re offering you something else? Stuck on a payment screen or in a quiz? Send a screenshot — we’ll explain the tricks on it and which button to press.
