INSIGHTS
No one is above being scammed or conned. Unfortunately, the widespread use of AI will only exacerbate the problem. Erik Barker recently culled eight lessons from Jonathan Walton’s new book Anatomy of a Con Artist: The 14 Red Flags to Spot Scammers, Grifters, and Thieves. Barker writes:
Urgency is the anesthesia they use to operate on your bank account. That ticking-clock, this-deal-dies-tonight, act-now-or-cry-later vibe slithers right under your logical defenses like a Trojan horse made of pure, concentrated FOMO.
Now scarcity by itself doesn’t mean something is a scam. But every time someone says “You’ve gotta do it now,” your bowels should clench a little.
CHART OF THE WEEK
