Enrol in Beware of scams

Scammers almost always rely on pressure, fear, greed or authority. They want you to act before you think. Over fourteen lessons you will learn to recognise scams at home, online, at work and when travelling, what to do if something goes wrong anyway, and how to get back on your feet financially and mentally. Each lesson has four tabs: lesson, practice, exercises and going further.

Frequently asked questions

When do I get access?

As soon as your payment is confirmed, your account immediately gets access to the lessons and tools. You also receive a confirmation by email.

Can I cancel my enrolment?

That depends on the type of course and whether you have already started. Everything is in our general terms of sale.

I am ordering as a business or from abroad. How does VAT work?

Private customers in Belgium and the EU pay the listed price, including 21% VAT. A Belgian business enters its company number: the price then excludes VAT and we add 21% VAT. A business in another EU country enters its VAT number: VAT is reverse-charged and you pay the price without VAT. Outside the EU, we charge no Belgian VAT. Businesses receive an invoice in their company’s name.
