When the bonds of emotion are skillfully woven into a web of fraud, can you still see the truth?
Hello everyone, I am your old friend Yuanxin.
Today I would like to talk to you about an issue that we may encounter often in our lives, but which is easily overlooked—affinity fraud.
Have you ever been in such a situation: A charismatic stranger who seems to have a myriad in common with you, she suddenly shares her "encounters" with you affectionately, confides in their troubles and secrets, makes you feel that they trust you very much, and you gradually let down your guard in the resonance. Then, at a "critical moment", he or she makes a seemingly innocuous request to you, but in fact it is deeply hidden.
And this could be the typical beginning of affinity fraud.
In psychology,Affinity fraudIt takes advantage of people's "empathy" and "sense of identity". When we emotionally resonate strongly with others, the "mirror neurons" in the brain allow us to mimic the emotions and behaviors of the other person, which also provides an opportunity for fraudsters to take advantage of them.
But why do some people fall for it easily, while others see through the scheme?
This has to do with our "psychological defenses". A strong psychological line of defense, like a mirror, can make fraudsters have nowhere to hide.
So, how do you build this line of defense? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Observe calmly: Look at everyone with whom you have an intimate relationship with a rational eye. True emotion doesn't happen overnight, it takes time to settle down.
Verify the facts: When the other party makes a request involving money or personal information, you may wish to press the "pause button" first to verify the facts. A simple web search may reveal the true face of the other party.
Listen to your heart: Intuition is sometimes our best guide. When something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and pull out in time.
Armed with knowledge: Learn about some common fraud tactics and psychological principles that will help you feel more comfortable in the face of fraud.
Fraudsters are like "dark artists" in the emotional world, who exploit the weaknesses of human nature to weave one disorienting dream after another. But as long as we master the right "decoding method", we can easily puncture these bubbles and return to reality.
Finally, I would like to quote a famous saying: "True emotion is not the warmth of love at first sight, but the deep affection that has accumulated over the years." ”
In this world full of ** and traps, I hope you and I can have a pair of discerning eyes, distinguish the true from the false, and protect our most sincere hearts.
