Scam artists use your vulnerability with their tricks due to the certain purposes. They will definitely find you and you will be the next victim if they find you more interesting than Alex Niessenberg, for example.
He is not so special to distinguish him from others however he needs some words to be said about. The main problem and circumstance that embarasses us is loosing the hope of being convinced. We do not say money, of course, money is the great loss but the hope is far more important.
The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment is the main idea to come and register to any website. Alex Niessenberg from Germany investigates the scam cases, psychological aspects and reasons that caused scam and fraud. His private attitude made him start to educate himself in dating industry and what is more relevant – psychology. And those who do not ignore such problems joined to Alex’s research.
We mean single people who intend to denote themselves in this severe world and advanced users who care about internet security while serfing everywhere.
First thing that makes the biggest interest is things that makes people potential scam victims. He rejected two categories: the poor minded and bad educated as he uncovered cases to be outstanding with vulnerable smart people who became victims as well.
John Harris was the Art lecturer of Historical Museum in Western California. In spite his transparent carreer he was captured by the police with the reson of exessive drinking, he started intake after unsuccessful online romance in 2011.
Ashley Donnegut, used to hold his psychological practice in Belgium now is under the investigation after being scammed by Malaysian criminals and being in cooperation with criminals in bank fraud and money-washing.
Here we see quite simple process: someone contacts the victim and performes as a bank or government representatives, thus he requires the potentical victim to help them in trusferring big amounts of money from one country to another. Ashley convinced that he was doing right but he was reported and judged, 1, 5 years of prison will explan his guilty.
If we think about the defensive structures, we never mention education and life experience will help you directly to avoid scam and fraud. Alex hoped that if he was not right, he would be glad to make additional notes in his research.
Let’s try to find out what makes all people vulnerable and who are the potential victims?
Alex put on his long research several hundreds of people, they were asked about strong ground scammers have and in what cases they could be victims accordingly. This questionnaire was a primary test. As a result – one tendency has been found. All of them have a period when they loose control to bacome their position dangerous for themselves. However the other feeling: fear, a wish to behave like others, to find the consequent way of acting can be more than positive points. This is something interesting for psychologists however nothing new for scammers. So how to obtain a trust? What should a scammer do? Alex noticed that criminals pretend to be friends and share their problems easily, what is strange for ordinary people, usually we are closed enough and prefer not totell anyone. But if we see someone opens, we will share our intimate details accordingly to keep the dialogue. People respond in such a way when they have no one to speak specifially. Another way to gain a sincerity and trust – to be a person from government structure, this will persuade a victim in your serious intentions of the conversation. Authority is the power, people react consistently. Sometimes scammers do not extract money from a person, they just prepare a victim to be in a state of obedience and conformity. Therefore this person is ready to be used accordingly. Fraudsters use such scheme oftenly.
Alex was encouraged by such manipulations of criminals, being non-professional in psychological aspects however craftily use their skills. They are very educated as well as money stimulated.
It’s almost impossible to find a scammer who works alone and it would be interesting to uncover their secret language to contact each other when they work in group. Secret signs.
As a matter of fact, criminals know about vulnerable points of potential victims and they use this knowledge perfectly. And it does not matterin which way they became well educated – this gives us a push to study the scheme of their tricks. So Alex used this issue in his reserch.
Now we would like to mention Christos Harran, who consulted casinos and worked as a magician. Sure he analysed what scammers usually do to lead the victim to pass his private belongings. Besides he used to be invited to different tv shows that demanded outstanding tricks done with spectators. Keep calm, all pieces have been returned immediately.

Besides he used to be invited to different tv shows that demanded outstanding tricks done with spectators. Keep calm, all pieces have been returned immediately.
It is interesting for Christos to find out that scammers in general used to undertake about seven main rules to persuade victims. But often they take into account only one or two of them. And as we see, if to compare, three of them are very similar to those Alex have found.
1. Time rule
A victim is persuaded to react immediately, no time for thinking and reconsidering. This principle gives no chances to control yourself.
2. Authority
Being a person with a valued purpose to address.
3. Greagrious instinct
You think like your friends usually do, paying no attention to illegacy of such actions.
Christos is convinced in the fact that scammers have four or five tricks more. They can weird the whole situation and it would be very difficult to distinguish scam from legal transferring for example. A crime participator is in help with them. And as soon they understand what is your necessary need or wish they will use that accordingly to manipulate.
So now you may understand why there is so much in common in all that online scam.
Easily gaining the trust they use this chance to act immediately: so you can be a part of money laundring system or scam mailing, feeling innosent but offering your email address instead. As your email is confirmed you with threat unwillingly to others.
Old flourishes.
Ridiculous is the fact that some trick are still in use for many years. We do not sure if any person is left who haven’t heard anything know about Nigerian or Malaysian scam. However we discovered them to appear in XV- XVI century.
Fraudsters are not interested in weakness of a person but in all strengths he has and use them carefully. Referring to the work of one professor of psychology in Massachussets, Brandon Gatfoldy about skills and methods of persuading, decisiveness, forcefulness usually help to survive in social groups. Thus, scammers and fraudsters are to be respected for their ability to be strong to survive.
We see that experts usually dismiss the very old tricks but indeed they still work and Christos appeals for not ignoring as they bring the result. Those who blame security systems being worthless need to pay more attention to this oldest system. We found many professionals who advise security specialist to adjust their systems working in the harmony with a human. This can be done on base of investigation all factos of people’s behavior what will encourage modernization of the next security platform. But Christos supposes that people will accept this involvement and support.
Here we would like to you observe the one of the current problems of the security systems our experts experience within mobile devices.
Of course, you have constructive reason to trust to the seller who has very good reviews from other participants of the auction. However you are able to trust in that case referring to Greagrious instinct – there is no guaranteethat all those feed backs are to be written by scammers just to gain a position of a perfect seller and to attract someone’s attention. This method is as old as the world but still works. You can by any “good” gadget and be tricked with reviews.
We will always wonder to any new trick appears on Earth. Our immune system is still defenseless. Nevertheless we believe that our designers will reconsider their approach in modernization of security system and take into account main aspects of scammer’s behavior. This is important and will give the proper result.
