4 in 5 scams are self-effected​

One statistic highlighted by Goh is that, about four in five scams are self-effected, meaning that the monies lost are willingly transferred by the victims themselves to the scammers.

In such cases, scammers use psychological tactics to deceive or manipulate the victims into compliance.

My in law is one of them.... highly educated also tio scam

A lot of smart individuals with good paying jobs get scammed.
My cousin got conned $10k+ through those job scams then need to topup to withdraw money. And he's quite well to do, in audit job.

I talked with a "Hong Kong girl" online, never ever psycho me into crypto, just show her account and what she did. Really good at their job. Didn't get scammed, blocked and move on. Wasted a lot of time talking only.

Shows how easily scammers get into your head and f with you. Caning is well deserved.

What this minister talking

hello... if it's not willingly, it's not called being scammed.
it's called being threatened

It is called scam because the victim being cheated to believe some nonsense by scammers.

If they unwilling to transfer but still make to do it is called Robbery liao.

You all forgot there was a period of time, every day got news reported of aunty/uncle who saw FB ad for $1 durian/seafood/wagyu, downloaded 3rd party app, phone got hijacked then money transferred out by scammers???

What this minister talking

No

I think

willingly - someone say she love me online and I transfer money over

unwillingly- I download a malicious app and my money disappear

both are scams but in the first scenario, I intended my money to be given out

 

[LWZ]

the 1 in 5 were unwilling ?

Victims r just naive n greed. Don blame others

When these scam was on the arise, I’m the first edmwer to ask how come these victims never show their WhatsApp or provide some screenshots so we all can learn from their lesson.

But no. These victims didn’t want to let everyone know the message they been engaging with scammers.
