At all times there have been swindlers, swindlers who shamelessly profited from someone else's gullibility, naivety, sometimes cleaning people up to the bone. Even the fear of cruel punishment did not stop them. And now they successfully continue their criminal activities. Being excellent psychologists, swindlers know exactly how it is better and easier to deceive their victim, to get into her trust. As a result, seemingly sane, sane people give money, jewelry with their own hands, and then belatedly grab their heads.
Instructions
Step 1
The first and most important rule: always, everywhere and under any circumstances, do not forget about reasonable vigilance and caution. Deceived people then often sigh "Well, he was an impeccably polite, well-mannered, intelligent person, he inspired such confidence" or "She was so young, beautiful, modest, how could we have suspected this sweet girl?" Remember: you cannot blindly trust anyone. As they say, trust, but verify.
Step 2
"Free cheese is only in a mousetrap." If you are offered to invest money somewhere on fabulously favorable terms, immediately be on your guard. This should sound like an alarm to you. Let go of reproachful arguments like: "Don't you trust me, do I look like a fraud?" Swindlers are excellent psychologists, they know that it is difficult for a decent, well-mannered person to answer with a direct refusal - and suddenly he will be offended. So, don't be afraid to refuse, politely but firmly. If the person is offended, this is not your problem.
Step 3
"The rescue of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves." Unfortunately, our reality is that people themselves have to ensure their own safety. Do not let strangers into your apartment. If someone rings the doorbell, posing as police officers, administration, social security agencies, etc., open it slightly by first throwing on a chain. Ask those who came to present their IDs. Do not be lazy (and again do not hesitate) to call immediately, to clarify whether such people really work there and whether they are sent to your address. Only then open the door and let these people into the apartment.
Step 4
If some strangers, whom you have never seen before, go to your retired neighbors, be sure to ask what the matter is. Very often, it is the elderly who, due to the mental changes inherent in age, become very gullible, the victims of scammers.
Step 5
"No divination or removal of corruption." Do not enter into conversations with gypsies on the street, resolutely refuse the offer to tell fortunes. Remember, some of them can be hypnotic for gullible people.
