A tempting offer for the Samsung Galaxy S20 flagship smartphone, which at a regular price costs almost PLN 4,000, has appeared online.


According to the Niebezpiecznik website, a Facebook post appeared online which claimed that there is a pricebug in Samsung online store, as a result of which the Galaxy S20 smartphone can be bought for 2 euros. In order to find this tempting offer, you had to enter the phrase SGAL2077B in Google.


The person who was tempted by the offer was directed to the fabricated website, in which the data had to be provided in a specially prepared form. The form concerned a lottery in which you could win a Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphone for 2 euros.


If someone did not read the terms of service for the lottery, by completing the form they have declared the desire to subscribe to the service, which costs 75 euros per month, and its duration is until cancellation or December 31, 2020.


You should watch out for this type of offers, because instead of a phone at an attractive price you can lose a lot of money, in this case it is almost PLN 350 per month.
