The business world has experienced different problems in the last few years. One of the challenges business people have faced is that there have been individuals who do not want to earn money legally and so they earn a living through deceit, manipulation or they offer false promises.These individuals approach clients pretending to be legitimate business operators.Then, they convince them to share sensitive information promising to offer them goods or services.
Con men have different ways of getting information or money from the people they approach. Calling people and pretending to be representatives of reputable organizations is one of the strategies con men use. This strategy usually works because people believe that they are talking with a trustworthy person and they assume that the information they share will be safe. Sending emails requesting people to share financial or personal information is another strategy con artists use. It is not uncommon for people to request for money when they send emails.
