Herausforderungen der Betrugsstrafbarkeit in einer vernetzten Gesellschaft

Abstract

The article discusses the question to what extent internet-based activities which harm consumers fall under the general fraud provision. A number of examples illustrate the problems that come along with this approach. The author suggests making use of supplementary penalty provisions instead of blurring the elements of an offence. But as these provisions have their own limits, she emphasizes the critical role of informing consumers adequately.
