Fraudsters Like Our Trusting Nature!

Do you know why?

Because most people believe others are honest, making them vulnerable to manipulation!

Here's how they exploit trust:

🀝 They build relationships over time to establish trust before asking for anything.

πŸ‘₯ They pretend to be someone you know or trust to gain immediate credibility.

🎭 They use social proof and testimonials to appear legitimate.

πŸ“ž They create emotional connections through shared experiences or interests.

πŸ’Ό They use professional titles and credentials to appear trustworthy.

🎁 They offer help or gifts to create reciprocity and obligation.

πŸ“± They use familiar communication channels and styles.

πŸ”— They reference mutual connections or shared experiences.

If youcommunicate with unknwon person:

⏩ Trust your instincts - if something feels off, it probably is.

⏩ Verify the identity of anyone asking for personal information or money.

⏩ Be especially cautious of unsolicited requests for help or offers - it's a trap.

⏩ Remember: Real friends and professionals don't pressure you to act quickly.
