Red Flags You Are Getting Scammed
Between AI, texts, DM's...scams are around every corner.
- Emergency Overload: Scammers love to trigger your panic response with emergencies like“Your grandson’s in jail!” or “You owe the IRS!” and that’s because freaked-out people don’t ask questions.
- Too Fast, Too Furious: That “limited-time offer” or urgent request? It's likely a scam in disguise. Whether it’s fake tech support asking for authorization or a “can’t-miss” investment, scammers know pressure equals poor decisions.
- New Number Who This?: Just met someone who suddenly needs cash? Yikes.
- Badge of Deception: If an “officer,” “lawyer,” or “FBI agent” you’ve never met is suddenly in your business, it’s probably a con.
- They Ask You To Pay? You Say “No Way!”: If someone’s asking you to pay with a gift card, crypto, or Venmo for tech support or bail money, run.
Tips To Make Yourself Instantly Likeable
- Image – Present yourself as a “person worth knowing” by looking clean, put together, wearing clothes that accentuate your positive vibes and intentions, and pay attention to the body language you’re emitting
- Authenticity – People can sniff out insincerity a mile away…and they’re way more attracted to someone who is authentic and the real deal
- Empathy – There aren’t enough people in this world willing to show they give a damn about more than themselves and their self-interest. Taking a genuine interest in others makes them feel special and cared about
- Positivity – We can all agree there’s too much negative crap out there, so don’t contribute to it…people flock to positivity
- Speak Like You Want To Lead – Stay away from slang and cursing, remember names, and don’t be afraid of sincere compliments
- Leave A Better World – Leave people smiling, and leave them laughing, inspired, and eager for their next experience with you
