We like to think of ourselves as consistent and committed individuals. If people say they are going to do something, then they will generally follow through with it. Fraudsters use this against you in another of their psychological manipulation tactics. They get you to commit to little steps that can then escalate in nature. They may start by asking simple questions like, “how are you today?” These lead to more personal inquiries, like “who do you bank with?” Since you’ve answered their earlier questions, it would be inconsistent not to answer another one, and people usually want to perceive themselves has helpful and polite.

Get your kids involved while you're paying bills! This is a great chance to show them some real-world examples of money. Explain the many ways that bills can be paid: over the phone, by paper check, electronic check or online check draft. Discuss how each method of bill pay takes money out of your account. Be sure to mention late penalties, and emphasize the importance of paying bills on time.

Have you heard of FOMO? It’s the fear of missing out, and fraudsters use it against people to lure them into their schemes. When the freedom to do something is threatened, people tend to react quickly to ensure they don’t miss out. Fraudsters may tell you that their offer is only valid until they put the phone down. The principle of scarcity suggests that people are more likely to be drawn to it. Hearing about this “next big thing” or “limited time offer” may make you feel like you simply can’t miss out on the opportunity.
