Polish term or phrase: złodziejskie stawki
Prosiłbym o pomoc w znalezieniu fajnego odpowiednika.

"Poza tym naliczane stawki za połączenia zagraniczne są złodziejskie."
"Ciekawe co na to komisje Unii Europejskiej, które twardą ręką walczą ze złodziejskimi stawkami za połączenia, SMS-y i transfer danych wykonywany za granicą."

"Rzadko kiedy wystawiam opinie, ale dzięki firmie AXPO uwolniłem się od oszustów z jakimi byłem ZMUSZONY współpracować. W 2015 roku podpisałem umowę z firmą AMB Energia (oszuści – unikać jak ognia), umowa miała obowiązywać do końca 2016 roku, jednak jak się okazało przedstawiciel oszust jaki mnie odwiedził dopisał dodatkowe 2 lata umowy ze stawkami w taryfie C12a – 450/450 zł za MWh. Nie zwróciłem uwagi na to, że nie był uzupełniony okres obowiązywania umowy, a kiedy podczas podpisywania umowy pytałem o to przedstawiciela tej firmy – pokazał palcem na tabelką w której dla 2016 roku była przypisana cena – 270 zł/MWh + 19,90 zł opłaty handlowej. Oszukano mnie i dopisano złodziejskie stawki, a reklamacje nic nie pomogły."
