For Russians who receive calls from scammers, it is important to first try to divert their attention from the topic of conversation to something else. In this respect kp.ru said psychotherapist Andrei Kurpatov.
“There are times when a person is in an inadequate state and behaves as if he were hypnotized. In this case, simple physical actions can help: you need to return him to the real world, do something, think about something, solve something. Breathing exercises help a lot: You can literally say that it is stuffy and you need to breathe deeply, and do it with it – inhale-exhale etc., the expert continued.
According to him, in order to educate yourself or your loved ones to avoid falling for the tricks of phone scammers, it is important to know their possible plans. First of all, you need to remember that anyone who wants to dictate a code via SMS, dictate a three-digit code from the back of a card, or transfer money is a fraudster. You also need to develop critical thinking and analyze information told to you.
“Finally, remember that no matter what happens, you don’t have to react immediately – the sky won’t fall – take a short break and remember what I’m talking about now. If something raises even the slightest doubt in you, this pause will allow you to come to your senses and check the information,” Kurpatov concluded.
