Most people think financial scams happen to careless individuals. That’s not the reality. Smart and educated people often fall for scams.  Scammers exploit human behavior before targeting your bank account. If scammers can manipulate emotions, financial knowledge is not enough. They use fear to trigger your urgency with messages like “Your account will be blocked". They use trust by impersonating trusted banks, regulators, or friends, making you believe the source is credible. They use greed by promising “guaranteed’ higher returns. They make your brain stop thinking logically. You just react and respond to their message. The best way to protect yourself against financial scams is to take a deep breath and think before clicking any links that ask you to send money. Day 1 of my finance journey!
