Thanks. I'll check it out. I'm quite immune to the tactics myself due to watching my father fall for way too many of them growing up. As a result of seeing that at an early age I've become quite immune to the tactics. But I could easily see how the less immune could readily be drawn in to something they likely could not afford.

Paul Wilson gave a talk at DEF CON 20[1] - he said something that stuck with me (which I'm paraphrasing now): "The way you spot a mark is to look for the person who thinks they can't be taken. They're the greenest grass to a con man." I'm sure it's in the video somewhere :-) [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkz1ItKLAvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkz1ItKLAvk
