Ok but actually... How the fuck do people fall for tech support scams? Does an Indian dude with a heavy accent but a very American name telling you to buy $300 in Google play cards not sound ANY alarms?
@beardalaxy They use emotion to override the frontal lobes. They instill a sense of urgency, confuse people with jargon and if they can get away with it, an underlying sense of menace. It shuts people's logical processing down. The trick is to tell them to call back later and hang up cause they're upsetting/confusing you.
@beardalaxy They are extremely polite, but firm and urgent
