Tiene trampa

Tiene trampa
 

A veces tenenemos que ser cuidadosos porque alguna oferta, o chollo , o ganga tiene trampa y por eso nos lo regalan, o está rebajado de precio. ¿Cómo se dice en inglés "tener trampa"?

To have a catch.

E.g.
Salesman: We can give you a year's car insurance for 15€.
Fred: That sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

Good PJT33.

You can also say: It sounds like a come on.
It's a gimmick.

:eek: I would understand that as flirting rather than glossing over flaws.

caveat emptor - buyer beware :wicked::wicked:

Yes caveat emptor and buyer beware is a worning that there may be a
trampa lurking.
Unlike Great Britain, a come on in the United States can be used as a merchandising come on as well as a flirting devise. Anyone who looks at this forum knows that regionalism is a major factor in word and phrase meanings.

Ya lo sé, pero a veces las diferencias me dejan boquiabierta. (Y está bien que los hablantes no nativos estén consciente de cuales frases tienen más o menos aceptación y donde).
