I have fallen prey to a couple of online scams, and they used fear, one time and familiarity, the other time. Thanks for sharing these scam tactics. I worry about getting older and maybe trusting someone I shouldn’t.

Just when I thought I knew all the scamming tricks, I got scammed on a sold out concert ticket. Scammers look for shows that post about being sold out, then they go to the band’s page and offers to sell their extra ticket or gives lots of reasons why they don’t need their tickets. It starts off seeming legit, but you have to look into their profile to see if it is new, foreign, or no activity, those are usually the number one sign of a scammer. They pretty much used everything on your list to secure the sale and it worked, once, but never again will I trust those types of sales. Thank you for sharing.

Great list and suggestions/things to remember. It seems like these people are getting worse and more creative every day 🙁 My mom even got a call from someone saying her grandson was in jail and needed bail money. Funny thing is, she had just talked to him like 15-20 mins earlier, and he certainly was not in jail. Crazy. My sister was with her and tried to get more info like his name, which state they were in, etc. They became evasive and eventually hung up. So annoying.
