The Anatomy of Scams

Scammers often manipulate individuals by presenting incomplete information that leads to misguided assumptions. A classic example is the visual representation on a whiteboard meant to evoke different interpretations based on perspective. This mirrors how scammers reveal selective details, enticing victims to disregard hidden risks and flaws. The prevalence of this deception is underscored by the statistic that a significant portion of Americans believe in psychic powers, despite evidence to the contrary, highlighting the vulnerability to scams in both laypersons and experts.
