Title: presentation on scams
Post by: Ozcoins on June 21, 2016, 08:13:32 AM
For those that know the TV show "The real hustle", Paul Wilson is one of the three presenters of the show.
I just listened to a very interesting recording of Paul speaking at a hacker convention.
He discusses why scammers can con people - even where things sound ridiculous. He also discusses how to try to avoid scams.
I thought it might be of interest

There is a lot of chatter and the interesting part starts around 16 minutes 10 seconds.
Let me know what you think.
