That's why advertising is a billion dollar industry.

We're out of Pringles.

Just blow in the can.

and why when someone tells you these kinds of stories from far away places, they're hard to prove false off the top of your head.

And the minute you can't prove something is false, the way the human brain works, you are that much more likely to just accept it as true.

The other psychological trick the scammers are employing here?

Using all those exquisite details in their stories from faraway places.

Tons of minute details have a tendency to immediately convince someone that what they're hearing is true.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many details.

Add to that, at this point, Charlotte is scared.

Terrified, actually.

And she believes this FTC agent in DC on the phone with her is trying to help, so she is that much more primed to just accept whatever he says as true from this point on.

As Charlotte is talking to Agent Mitchell, she texts her husband, telling him that someone has stolen her identity.

And suddenly, Agent Mitchell, sensing Charlotte is distracted, commands her full attention by asking,

Charlotte did in fact use public wifi recently at the airport, and she feels really stupid now for doing it, as she tells Agent Mitchell.

And Agent Mitchell, seizing on a sudden opportunity to make Charlotte blame herself for what's happening, piles on, telling her that her recent public wifi use at the airport is the reason this crime syndicate was able to hack into her phone and into her life.

and is now using her identity to commit all these crimes all over the country and he says they're probably monitoring her phone right now so she shouldn't be calling or texting anyone about anything especially about this current ftc fraud investigation into her case

Panicking now, Charlotte quickly deletes the text she just sent to her husband, even though he already saw it, and she agrees not to call or text anyone else about this open FTC investigation.

Agent Mitchell then tells Charlotte,

So now Charlotte is being transferred to a third person, which just makes the scam feel even more credible.
