Have You Been Scammed?

What Scammers Do To Take Your Money

They are you’re “friend
Whether the initial contact is with email or phone, they will get you to believe that they are your friend and are calling/emailing to help you make money. Sounds great right? Their only goal is to take your money! They usually get you to share some information about yourself and they may “share” something about themselves. They are not your friend, they only want your money!

Looking for a few good people/only a few spaces left
The try to make you feel special because they are looking only for a few people in “your area” to join in this great opportunity. They only want your money!

Need To See if you “qualify”
Once they think they have you interested they will do what is called a give and take away technique. You may think this deal is sounding pretty good. But now they have to determine if you qualify. Of course you do, even if you don’t want it you want to qualify for something. They only want your money!

Limited opportunity
This ties in with the exclusivity of the product or service. There are only a few products/openings/opportunities left. You must act now before they are all gone. They only want your money!

You can put it on two cards
If you say that you can’t afford it they will happily say (being so kind to help you out) “You can put it on two cards.” They only want your money!

Simple “done for you system”
Some of these programs are sold as “done for you” systems. All you need is to join and the money will be rolling in faster than you can spend it! Even if they have a lot of “stuff” on their site is usually remedial, outdated or otherwise unusable. They only want your money!

Magic button
“All you have to do is…” There is no magic button. We would all like to have one. We all are looking for more money. Some of us are on the desperate side and that is part of the reason we fall prey to these scammers. They only want your money!

Initial fee then upsell, upsell, upsell …
Even if you agree to the initial sell thinking that alright I squeeze this much and maybe I can make some money in this thing. That is when you get hit with the upsell and another and another and another and so on until they really do have all your money. They only want your money!

Now That I’ve Been Scammed, What Do I Do?
It is hard to live with the shame of being scammed. You are angry, angry at the scammers and angry at yourself for being taken. Of course you’re pissed off! With luck you will never hear from them again. But next time, if there is a next time, you will be better prepared and be able to stand up to these scammers and say to them. “NO, I WILL NOT TAKE YOUR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PRICE. YOU WILL NOT GET MY MONEY AGAIN!”
1. Remember that even though it seems like a stupid and embarrassing thing, it is not your fault. These guys are professionals and they make used car salesmen look like angels.
2. Don't beat yourself up. Decide that this is part of your education and move on. You have to decide each day to learn from this and not fall prey to their tactics again.
3. You have been robbed of more than money or possessions, you have been robbed of your self-confidence and your self-esteem. That kind of loss is hard to take so be gentle on yourself.
4. Remember that you were the one who was scammed but you are not a helpless victim. Yes, this was done to you and they are very slick at what they do but you are not helpless you just got scammed out of hard earned money. You still have your life and your skills to move forward. So do it, move forward!
5. Do not waist time trying to figure out how someone who seemed so friendly could be so disgustingly ruthless. It is their job to take your money. I have been trained in hypnotherapy and persuasive techniques and I still got scammed! They only want your money!
6. Remember this event, or events, as part of your education in life. Pay attention to the lesson and let go of the pain. As I said before you have your life and your skills. Now you even know more about scammers and how to avoid them. Remember too, that they are never your friend. They are like the muggers in the dark of night only they do it from their computer or phone. Some do get caught and brought to justice but in the end, they all must answer for their actions.
You will succeed in your dreams if you listen to your inner guidance. Now get up and get out and live your passion!
