After so many years, countless scammers' routines have been exposed on the Internet, but why are there still people who are deceived? There are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people who are deceived at every turn, are they all stupid people who are cheated of money?

That's certainly not the case. People who are deceived generally don't have much money, but it's true that they are stupid.

Because I found that these people are cheated of so much money casually, it is not that they really have so much money, and people with so much money may not be cheated, and the money they are deceived often comes from loans, after all, online loans are too convenient now.

Why do people always get scammed? I summarized that there are probably no 3 reasons for this:

Indeed, despite the fact that we live in a highly information-advanced society, there are still people who are gullible to be deceived. Here are some of the common reasons that can lead to people being susceptible to being scammed: Lack of knowledge and experience: Some people may lack sufficient knowledge and judgment about certain things due to limitations in their age, educational background, or social experience. This information asymmetry makes them more susceptible to deception.

For example, older adults may not be aware of emerging online technologies and scams and are therefore more likely to fall victim to online scams.

Greed or rush: Sometimes, people are deceived because they are tempted to pursue unrealistically high returns or quick success.

Scammers often take advantage of this psychology to lure people into falling for by promising high profits or getting rich quick. For example, some financial scams take advantage of people's greed and promise high returns on investment to attract investment. Trust in others and lack of vigilance: Some people are kind by nature and tend to trust others, and this trust can sometimes be exploited by scammers.

At the same time, a lack of vigilance can also lead to people being susceptible. For example, some social engineering scams exploit people's trust and obtain information or commit fraud by pretending to be a trustworthy entity (such as a bank, government agency, etc.).

To reduce the risk of being scammed, people can take the following steps: Enhance their knowledge and experience: Continuously learn and understand emerging technologies and scams, and improve their judgment and discernment skills.

Be vigilant and rational: Be wary of any promises or opportunities that seem too good, and don't easily trust strangers. Do your due diligence and understanding before making a decision.

Protect personal information: Handle your personal information with caution and do not disclose it to strangers or use it in an unsecured online environment.

In conclusion, to reduce the risk of being scammed, we need to be vigilant, enhance our knowledge and experience, and always think rationally. At the same time, you must also learn to protect your personal information and property.
