This person contacted me on Pinterest pretending to be a romantic interest. We talked via Whatsapp a lot. For his birthday I sent him a gift card. He gave me his banking details and asked me to transfer money to myself. I refused. He didn't pry, but I looked through the information. There were only recent transactions and the deposit was from Mark Zugerberg. I immediately knew something was wrong. I made an excuse to get off the phone and blocked him everywhere I could. This person has no social media presence. You can't even find the name on Google. I was suspicious and so glad I followed my intuition.

Chase Quickpay gives the illusion to a safe money transaction. How I got scammed out of $400. I was scammed out of $400 trying to buy Hamilton tickets. I handed the money over through Chase Quickpay trusting how legit it sounded. I’ve bought tickets before from Craigslist and had a great experience so decided to try again. The guy on the phone called himself Franklin Parson and was way to smooth of a talker from the beginning. I admit that there were many red flags that I ignored. First off he called me back right away saying he was sorry he was on the other line in a meeting with clients. He was a life insurance sales man even gave me the name of the company something like Americorp. Too much information but I thought maybe he was a good sales person and was trying to sell it to me. Another side of me, that I ignored, said that this guy was not trust worthy. He continued to talk I took a call from my husband and he didn’t stay on the other line (another red flag) but he picked up when I called back. He made sure I had a Ticketmaster account. Guided me. How to do the transfer and then said he had to transfer tickets to me but it would take up to 15 min because Ticketmaster had to confirm he was transferring them. All the red flags were 1. Saying he was in a previous meeting but being able to call me back right away 2. Saying he was a season ticket holder but had tickets for Tuesday and Sunday show and was bringing his wife and kids to Sunday show. 3. Giving me information about where he worked and telling me to check them out online when we were on the phone. 4. I asked him about fraud and how do I know his tickets are real and he said he would get in trouble with his bank of their we’re any issues. 5. The Ticketmaster transfer delay. Point 4 is the most irking. Chase Bank puts their name behind this quickpay yet they have little to no help for mistakes or fraud. I read up several stories after this happened and called the police. If you say it’s fraud

Very convincing Tech Support Scammers. Contact information: Nishkul Technologies LLC:(888)262-1518 , Xorian InfoTech LLC:(800) 467-1909 and (888) 863-5261. (The second one for Xorian InfoTech only works if they have a line readily open, it will not put you in a queue. Description of scam: Tech Support Scam Other Information: Ok so this is going to be a little long winded but here it goes. I am new to scam baiting and as of right now I just use FireRTC to typically tie up lines and troll scammers a little for fun, get them angry at me and here them cuss and say "muddafucka". These two companies though I've done a lot of research and pulled their numbers up initially through this video here 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ov3O7gwUg.' Now Xorian Infotech I can easily say is fake, it has an F rating in the BBB and many complaints online about the typical tree cmd to scan computers and cold calls. I also called here and the first person was willing to "register me" until they caught wind I was scam baiting, then their new policy was they couldn't ever register anyone as I had the wrong department and couldn't transfer me over to the correct one. Nishkul Technologies is where I'm struggling but I have a large amount of evidence, along with the video I provided that they are a scammer company. Their address on google says they are located at 265 Franklin St #1702, Boston, MA 02110. I made a few calls and got the building security number and talked to the man there and asked about Nishkul technologies, he said there was no such company located in that building. I called Nishkul and got them to say that they were in fact located there (which I dont buy at all). The very first time I called though to prank/scambait they got sick of me and Sam started saying you have the wrong number this is a travel agency and switched back to Nishkul technologies. This is a clear sign they are not legitimate. The reason they could be real I feel though is that I actually talked t

Giving vs Benjamin Franklin Principle What's better? I've been attending some speakers on networking and there seems to be two schools of thought to obtaining and advocate or a booster. One is the Benjamin Franklin Effect where you get people to do you favors, the other is by being a value giver and helping them out and connecting them, so they're likely to do the same. Which one is more powerful and what are the pros and cons of each?

Some actual social engineering tips (with sources) Since this subreddit is slowly turning into /r/socialskills, I'll step in and provide some content. This is my throwaway porn account, deal with it. Oh, and *I provide sources*, because what I say is based on facts and scientific research, not PUA speculation. **Intro** So you want an internship. You are just like every other student in terms of experience, attractiveness and social skills. What do you do? People will tell you to network, but you have no *leverage*. To employers, you are pretty much worthless. The goal here is one of those two: * Make you seem like you are not worthless * Make you worth more than other students **Getting leverage** Since you have very little experience, we'll cheat a bit. This starts with a few obvious things: * Get a few pairs of eyes on your resume. Your university has people whose only job is to get you hired, and nobody ever pays them a visit. Get your resume reviewed by as many professionals as you can, and come back often. Once the content is good, get in touch with a graphic designer. You have no idea of what good spacing and a nice font selection can do. There are two reasons to do this: The [mere exposure effect](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect) makes these professionals favour you to unknown candidates, and [people prefer attractive things, regardless of their content](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1559-1816.2003.tb01909.x/abstract). That's on top of the tremendous advantage of having professional help. * Network even without leverage. Even if you are not a special little snowflake, you can take advantage of the mere exposure effect by contacting people on LinkedIn to ask them questions. Connect with them saying that you had a lot of interest in the company and consider applying for internships. Ask them questions, converse with them and get them to refer you to someone in HR. This way, you can say "John Doe from the accounting tea

How to never appear too perfect (Robert Greene) How to brag, gain power by feigning weakness and playing both sides of the coin. Show that you hate parts of yourself (whether or not you actually do). Especially when you are successful, people want to see problems that you have. This is the "crabs in the bucket" phenomenon. Certainly, this is not to say one should think less of himself, but rather, deep inside know that you are doing well. The trick is to hide this in public. This is great, because not only do you get to hide what might make people feel inferior, you get sympathy to solve your smaller problems, because you have your bigger problems under control. A simple application of this is self-deprecating jokes. But they are too obvious and are seen right through. They are like facebook selfies of a girl who spent the time to put on makeup, strike a pose, and filter through all bad images, to finally post and say, "OMG, I'm so ugly" to garner sympathy. What I am saying is not say self-deprecating lines, but BE almost self-defeating, conflicted, and self-deprecating. i.e. You just received a new promotion. Say you got a new promotion, but the more you rub it in people's faces, the more resentful they grow. Trick is to also vent your problems: This promotion sucks because it means you have to stay an extra 3 hours to finish your work. You gotta manage new people, and you hate managing people. But how can you refuse a $30,000 increase to your salary?? Gain sympathy. Brag more. Rinse, Repeat. The bottom line is, you are overtaking those who earn less than you, but you do not want to be hated. Another example: You just got into an ivy league college. Show negative aspects of it: "Fucking rich ass people in ivy leagues, I hate them." "It's far away from home, I'm not gonna be here anymore." "Everybody in ivy leagues are uppity and think they are better than everyone." This solves many problems: those who resent you will feel better about themselves, knowing that

How can I use the Ben Franklin effect via long distance? Long time lurker finally deciding to post a question... I'd like to use the [Ben Franklin Effect](http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/10/05/the-benjamin-franklin-effect/) to gain the favor of people. But I've never met them in person, but it's certainly possible that one day I will. But nothing is too extreme with this situation. I know I need to get them to do me a favor, and I'm working in the context of email, text messages, short bursts of IMs. This is not a business setting so it's not easy to say "hey, can you ask Mr. Smith about the TPS reports for me?" So I'm trying to think of favors I can ask of random strangers, that they'd be willing to do for me. "Take a picture of your shoe and send it to me" or "find out this random bit of trivia for me real quick" might be some examples, but they seem finicky somehow. I need some ideas here
