Tricks to scam / do fraud:
Methods that closely resemble legitimate and society's widely accepted business (money-making) practices:
Example 1: Charging interview fees. Even genuine private companies as well as government organisations charge fees for genuine interviews. So if scammers / fraudsters demand interview fees it seems legitimate.
Example 2: Charging money for stuff resembling items issued by genuine employers to their employees like identity card, raw materials to work on, etc.
Example 3: Even fake quick-money schemes seem legitimate because they resemble widely accepted business (money-making) practices like stock market etc.
Example 4: Creation of a facade of crypto currency and trading stuff with an elaborate website showing lots of complex calculations.
Actions that initially wins the trust and confidence of potential victims:
Example 1: Prompt payment for commission based minor tasks.
Example 2: Attractive returns on first investment in quick-money schemes.
Example 3: Influencing the decision to invest by pretending to be investors at a platform / venue seen by potential victims, like Telegram etc.
Example 4: Giving fake warnings and 'cautioning' against scams / frauds. For instance, one scammer warned of another scammer charging 1000 INR. The other scammer did call and asked 1000 INR. Later the original scammer charged 300 INR as interview fees. Since 300 INR is a much smaller amount compared to 1000 INR, it seemed like legitimate.
I cut off contact with the scammers/fraudsters. If I had the money to hang on and if I had hanged on I may have come to know of more tricks.
