Quotes from Others I Like

Patterns of Scamming Deceit

 Typical patterns of behaviour of successful scammers and fraudsters:

They target a vulnerability.

They take advantage of our inherent level of trust.

They seem to offer something which they seem to promise but will not do.

They often do not allow personal or phone contact.

They collect personal data in whatever disguise, pretext or purpose.

The public does not check upfront the credentials, viability and legitimacy of the scammers in whatever form they exist.

Few phone up or speak in person to those hiding behind their online existence.

They gradually try to gain our trust before they exploit us.

They love for us to click on dubious or seemingly innocent links, QR codes and icons.

They use choice of words and language which can reveal their true character.

They disappear after the kill, or move on to other forms of deceit.

They instinctively know that many scam victims do not complain, due to ego and pride, when in shame of being scammed.

They know that many scams go unpunished by authorities.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Grace

 Grace truly comes from the mind,

Most times we are not being mindful of or to find. 

Grace more importantly springs from the heart,

To try to articulate it in doing our part. 

Grace makes us realise we try to give and not just wait for it,

for what we share comes back to us in heaps. 

Grace does change how we  look at situations and things,

Thank you for helping raise me up on such new wings.
