The Science of Scams

The Human Behavior Podcast

Send us a text

Today we are discussing some of the psychological reasons behind why we are all prone to getting scammed!

For the show we answered three main questions:
Why do scams work?
What is the psychology behind scams? And,
Who is prone to falling for scams?

During the episode we explain how our brain gets hijacked by a good story which causes us to lose our ability to think critically and rationally.
