Reverse Psychology Scamming
Hi, this is not new or old, but is a method by which scammers can get you.
I will explain using a situation/role play:
You want to buy credits from someone, but say you will not go first, because you don't want to get scammed.
Someone offers to buy you them, and they will go first.
The person who is selling the credits, makes you promise you will not scam, and makes it out as though they feel like they will get scammed by you.
They beg you not to scam them, and may even use stories that they have been scammed before this way.
They may even say that you seem like a trustworthy person. They do everything in their power to make you feel sorry, even making them out to be the victim.
Because you feel sorry for them, you eventually get worn down by their talking, and are convinced to go first, paying them the HCs or whatever it is they want for the credits.
They run off, and have scammed you!
This is a very cunning thing, it lures you into a false sense of security, making you do anything as to avoid seeming like a scammer.
This happened to my friend.
I hope it does not happen again.
This scam does not only apply to credits, it can apply to anything where a simple trade cannot be done.
Ben.
