Forewarned is forearmed! Scamming is much more common and mainstream than people think.
THE PLAYBOOK OF SCAMMERS
1. Pump you full of fear and tell you the only way to avoid terrible things happening to you (or your family) is to do things THEIR WAY.
2. Convince you that they are legitimate and have authority. Fake or biased data and credentials will be shared to ensure that you believe them.
3. Isolate the target from any person or source of information that could cause them to doubt what the scammers are telling them.
4. Make the target feel like a terrible person if they question the legitimacy and advice of the scammers. After all, they're only trying to help YOU!
5. Bully you into doing the thing they want you to do, which earns them their income. If you start to stray from the path by expressing doubt, extreme bulling techniques are used, basically telling you that you are terrible person for questioning them, and that lives will be put in danger if you don't follow their advice.
This is the tried and true technique used effectively by scammers throughout the world, whether they be privately run enterprises or government institutions.
