If you’ve ever been duped and immediately blamed yourself for it, you’re not the only one. Yes, we all have a level of personal responsibility, but that doesn’t negate the fact that humans are primed to fall for get rich quick schemes. So why is that? In this episode of Duped, we’re flipping the script. Instead of talking about how to prevent getting scammed, we’re exploring why were are so damn susceptible to it. We discuss: A brief history of get rich quick schemes. Five telltale signs you’re being scammed. How rugged individualism and the American dream play a role in why we get sucked into schemes. Why do prosperity gospel and manifestation prime us to be taken in by schemes? What is confirmation bias and what role does it play in our decision-making?
