“con man” itself comes from “one who gains confidence.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “But I’m confident in my own safety.” But the thing to remember is that people who are unaware of their own weaknesses are more susceptible to fraud.\u003cbr\u003e The very thought, “Could this really happen to me?” is a danger signal.\u003cbr\u003e The optimistic bias we will discuss in the next section is precisely such a trap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When my friends around me bragged about “making money with this coin,” I became less cautious.\u003cbr\u003e Many people rushed into unproven investment opportunities due to the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) mentality of “I can’t be left behind.”\u003cbr\u003e As a result, a significant number of coins soon crashed, causing significant losses for investors. \u003cbr\u003eIt was later revealed that some coins were actually Ponzi schemes, where developers and early investors manipulated the price to drive it up, then sold it at the high price as the general public followed suit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Truth bias refers to the tendency for humans to believe information they see and hear as truth without much doubt.\u003cbr\u003e Until we are presented with evidence that clearly proves something to be false, we immediately accept it as fact and only later (and even then, rarely) verify its truth.\u003cbr\u003e This tendency can be seen as a 'feature' that enables trust and cooperation in social life, so it is also called a 'trait, not a bug.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We often hear on the news about intellectuals like genius scientists, scholars, famous celebrities, and CEOs of conglomerates being caught up in huge investment scams. \u003cbr\u003eAt first glance, you might wonder, \"How could someone so smart fall for such a trick?\" But as explained earlier, the trap of fraud can strike anyone, regardless of their IQ.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, there are cases where brilliant intellectuals suffer even greater losses due to overconfidence and a moment of carelessness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Only by overcoming the temptations before our eyes and facing our own greed can we escape the shackles of fraud.\u003cbr\u003e As the Western proverb goes, “Free cheese only lies in a mousetrap,” always keep in mind that it is best to be wary of offers that seem too sweet from the start.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Romance scammers often don't present themselves as frauds from the start, and instead act more like their victims' ideal type.\u003cbr\u003e It's like a 'prince on a white horse' in a fairy tale, with wealth and manners, treating others with kind words and making them idealize themselves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e--- p.195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even in love, be skeptical of the phrase \"a sure investment opportunity.\"\u003cbr\u003e Among the victims who come to me for counseling, there are many who say, 'My lover told me about a good opportunity, so we invested together,' but ended up losing.\u003cbr\u003e To be blunt, truly good investment information doesn't spread to the general public.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e
