| has gloss | deu: Bauernfängerei bezeichnet eine Art von Täuschung bis hin zum Betrug, bei der davon ausgegangen wird, dass ein Vertragspartner die Modalitäten entweder nicht versteht oder relevante Passagen (Kleingedrucktes) überliest. Klassisches Beispiel hierfür ist die postalisch versandte Gewinnzusage, bei der angeblich hohe Gewinne zwar versprochen, aber letztlich nie ausgezahlt werden. Einziger Zweck dieser Bauernfängerei ist es, Waren überteuert zu verkaufen oder direkt Geld abzulocken. Das gilt auch für Kaffeefahrten, bei denen das einzige Ziel des Veranstalters nicht die - meistens - kostenlose Busreise, sondern eine Verkaufsveranstaltung mit überteuerten Waren darstellt. |

| Italian | |
| has gloss | ita: Scam è un termine che indica un tentativo di truffa con i metodi dellingegneria sociale, effettuato in genere inviando una e-mail nella quale si promettono grossi guadagni in cambio di somme di denaro da anticipare. Spesso scam e spam sono strettamente correlati. Lo scam detto anche con il termine "Scamming" assume anche il significato di un tentativo di furto di dati informatici come password da parte di un malintenzionato che ne vorrà fare mal uso, per il furto di soldi virtuali o reali. I scamming avvengono generalmente tramite il Web con luso di Fake Login (in italiano "falso login"), Fake Program (programmi cui richiedono la password mascherandosi come programmi funzionanti che promettono un qualcosa), Keylogger (programma che registra i tasti premuti sulla tastiera per poi inviarli al mittente), Cookie (di solito questa tecnica viene usata tramite un Password Grabber ossia un programma che riesce a estrapolare le password memorizzate per poi inviarle al mittente, in alcuni casi i cookie vengono anche sfruttati con le sessioni internet), o in altri casi molto più rari con Exploit e BruteForce. |
