Sweden is part of the EU, and consumer laws can be somehow compared between all EU-members. It is very likely that situation is very similar to German law. If you are not sure, you can ask an organization for consumer protection, e.g. the Swedish "Konsumentverket".
Basically, a company demanding money from a consumer has to provide evidence that a valid contract between the company and the consumer had been established. The basics for those contracts are fixed in duties from Art. 246 EGBGB which is valid in whole EU and covers mandatory informations the company has to provide to the consumer. Informations about price and paying modality belong to these mandatory informations. These informations must be provided in a form which is noticeable and transparent, and not only in the "Terms of Service", but directly on the webpage where the consumer gets the offer from.
The company which is responsible for these obscure flirt pages does not really sue German consumers, and it is also not likely that they will sue Swedish consumers.
The whole rip-off-scheme just consists of the usual way: deceiving, harassing, threatening. But if you do not react and do not pay, they will hardly ever file suit. And if - there would be thousands of ways to defend. So there is nothing to worry about.
