9. Scammers are masters at exploiting fear

Most of my friends have been victims at least once. But even without being swept into a plot exploiting fear, we're all vulnerable even by just hitting on a counterfeit email link or ordering from a fraudulent company that looks legit.

Recently a scammer claimed to be from electric company telling my friend her power would be cut off since her bill was overdue.. When she told them she had automatic payments from her bank, scammer connected her to second imposter who pretended to be from her bank to whom she gave her bank information.
