How to resist the wiles of charlatans
Julia Hill
All fraudulent schemes are always based on the speculation of our own fears and vices. Fun at first pumped voltage to cause anxiety or greed, there is excessive stimulation. In this state, a person feels the need to take actions as soon as possible to get what you want.
Then the scammer as it offers assistance, acts as a savior, support in critical situations. The man told that you need to do to save yourself from problems with the law, big embezzlement or, conversely, to profit. Our threshold of criticality is reduced, there is sympathy, unconscious confidence in the other person.
At any fears often speculate fraudsters?
- Fear say "no" and, as a consequence, rude, rude, insensitive.
- Fear of making a decision. Doing it on your own, we become vulnerable: not always sure he is right is not always willing to bear the consequences. Fun offer a ready-made solution.
- Fear of losing freedom, money or habitual comfort.
- The fear of losing loved ones.
- Fear to seize opportunities to improve their lives.
The basis of the script scam is always the predictability of human behavior in stressful situations. Thus, the story would originally predestined. If you fall under the influence of cheaters, your task - to change the script, so everything went according to plan.
What should I do?
- Observe the physical and emotional distance from the adventurers.
Critically evaluate each intervention and to ask themselves questions: "Why am I going to make it work?", "What they will get, if I did?" - To act contrary to the expected reactions. Choose the initiative from the fraudsters themselves begin to direct this play. For example, someone who faked road accident, is waiting for you to be indignant, frustrated, to argue or cry. Instead, sing a song, station, pretend dumb - not afraid to seem strange. More unusual is your behavior, the quicker you disarm the speculators.
- Asking questions that do not fit into the script to translate the attention of fraud to another subject and break the usual pattern. For example, if you are trying to find out the data card and you can not break contact (to leave, to hang up), you can say something like: "Hey, what sneakers you cool! Where he took? Give measure, we like the same size. Well, what do you feel sorry? "And then ask the most ridiculous questions until discourage you" wisher ".
Many people think: once they are adults, and intelligent, they are not in danger of becoming a victim of scams. But this is not the case. At certain moments of life can swallow the bait of any of us. Send this text to the social networks to tell which methods scammers use and how they can be countered.
