What we are referring to are persons who pretend to be someone they are not where they lure you in to their web of lies for no other reason but to bring your guard down so they can pounce when the moment is ideal to exploit you in ways that the average person could never have imagined.
Those individuals some call "catfish" where they assume someone else's identity to shield themselves under the rouse that they are this incredible person their victim has been longing to find all their life. Then they move in to the drama and enticing their victim to "rescue them" from some peril.
Don't believe you could be fooled? Hopefully you are correct and will recognize these on-line pariahs right off the bat. But unfortunately that type of belief is what gets the savviest and smartest persons in to trouble and before they know it they are in a deep emotional and financial fix by a masterful veteran catfish.
Before you get hooked line and sinker familiarize yourself with the common "Red Flags" and actively watch for the warning signs. But remember savvy cons have access to the same information as you do and they know how to "work" the cautionary signs to their advantage to throw you off their scent.
So how can one ever protect themselves against an emotional and financial predator?
The best advice RemedyBlox suggests for you to remember to keep you safe against on-line predators:
- Listen actively to your gut reaction - your intuition is a powerful gauge to letting you know something is "off".
- Ask questions and verify answers you are given.
- Trust should always be earned by actions not mere words.
- Practice saying "NO" without explaining - never be embarrassed for being proactive in protecting your emotional, physical and financial assets.
- Hold the will to walk away - don't ever allow yourself to be held hostage for any reason.
