Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Detecting A Scam
Many scams have telltale emotional signs you need to be on the lookout for. If they make you afraid. Like an email from the CRA threatening prosecution because you supposedly didn’t pay your taxes. If they appeal to your vanity. Like texts from scammers who pose as headhunters, saying they were referred to you with a dream job offer. If they appeal to your greed. Stock promotions and other Ponzi schemes fall into this category. Scammers like to push the buttons of fear, vanity and greed. If you feel emotionally manipulated - it’s often a scam.
