HOW IT WORKS

🎯 How Scammers Work: Understanding Their Playbook

Knowing how scammers operate is the first step to protecting yourself and taking back control. Here’s how most fraudulent operations are set up — especially those disguised as travel, property, or investment opportunities.

1. The Hook: Too Good to Be True Offers

Scammers begin by offering something that sounds amazing — a high return, a luxury vacation deal, or a “guaranteed” buyer for your property. The deal is urgent, limited-time, or only available to select people.

🧠 Red Flag: “Act now or lose this opportunity forever.”

2. Emotional Manipulation

Scammers use your emotions:

  • Fear of missing out or losing money

  • Excitement about an easy solution

  • Shame if you hesitate or question them

They often isolate you from others or discourage you from getting outside advice.

3. The Payment Trap

Once trust is built, they’ll ask for:

  • A processing fee, tax, deposit, or transfer cost

  • Payment through wire transfer, crypto, or gift cards (untraceable)

Once paid, they may delay, demand more, or disappear.

🧠 Red Flag: “This is the last step before you receive your payout.”

4. The Follow-Up Scam (Recovery Scam)

If you’ve already lost money, you may be contacted by another fake agency claiming they can help recover your funds — for another fee. This is part of the same network.

🚨 Key Truth:

Scammers are professional manipulators. They run systems, not accidents. Their goal is to extract as much money as possible before disappearing.
