People get scammed every second of every day, and ANYONE can fall victim to these criminals. You likely have a friend, family member or coworker who has a story about being scammed or barely escaping a scam.
It's not about how savvy you are with technology, it's not about how much money can be taken from you, and there is no specific profile that makes you a target. We are the scammer’s “full-time job” – they spend all their time perfecting their craft, using tools and techniques that are shared in dark places, and they build huge businesses whose sole purpose is to take money from people.
In this discussion, we will talk about how scams work, ways that you can prevent yourself from being scammed, help you alleviate the guilt associated with being scammed, and give you some practical advice for protecting yourself in the future.
Key Learning #1 A scam is magic hypnosis and confidence all wrapped together
Key Learning #2 Snap yourself out of a scam!
Key Learning #3 Actions you can take NOW to "harden your perimeter"
