Name the pressure techniques in ten seconds
Name the five techniques in any approach within about ten seconds of meeting one.
Fraud is not a test of intelligence, and not aimed at the confused. It is an industry with offices, targets and scripts tried on thousands before one reaches you.
Key points
- Name the five techniques, and spot three of them in one message
- Read anything alarming one line at a time before deciding anything
- Hold a rule you decided in the calm rather than in the moment
What to remember
- One line at a time turns a frightening message into an obvious one.
- Three of them in one conversation is the whole warning you need.
