There are many fraud victims after being cheated heartache at the same time is full of doubts: the original liar asked for "gold" when they are obviously very cautious, and even at the beginning of their own reject each other, but why will inexplicably agree to the liar's "gold" request, and finally step by step into the other party's fraud trap?

In fact, this is not the victim is too stupid, but fraudsters understand the characteristics of ordinary people's psychological activities, using the "demolition effect" step by step to attack the victim's psychological defense line!

What is the "demolition effect"? What's the role in fraud?

The "demolition effect" was proposed by Mr. Lu Xun, who wrote in his book "Silent China" : "The temperament of the Chinese people always likes to reconcile and compromise, for example, if you say that the room is too dark and that a skylight is opened here, everyone must not allow it, but if you advocate removing the roof, they will reconcile and are willing to open the skylight."

Therefore, the so-called "demolition effect" is that one party first makes a big request, and the other party refuses; Then make a smaller, smaller request, and the other person will feel guilty after refusing the first request and will say yes. In fact, when it comes to financial transactions, most people are vigilant, and fraudsters make extensive use of the "demolition effect" to dissolve the psychological defense line of victims step by step.

For example, in the well-known "killing pig plate" fraud, the cheater introduces the victim into an "investment financial platform" after emotional preparation, the cheater often first lets the victim invest in gold, and so on, after the victim refuses to let the victim help operate, the victim in order to maintain the feelings with the cheater, in the guilt of the other party before refusing to agree. In the process of helping to operate, the victim will test the rising profit figures on the account, and gradually lose their reason under the effect of greed.

Fraudsters use the "demolition effect" to break through the psychological defense line of victims

Among the fraud cases I have exposed, there are many cases of black platforms using the "demolition effect" to commit fraud.

When I exposed the article "flatterer liar a mouth, female netizens into the pit" kill pig plate "lost more than 2 million!" In, Ms. Wu met the cheater Zhang on Tiktok, after a period of contact between the two people developed into an ambiguous relationship, Zhang then invited Ms. Wu to invest together to make a lot of money. Ms. Wu at the beginning of vigilance is very high, dare not easily try and refuse, and then Wu said that you can only invest a small amount of money to try, this requirement greatly reduces Ms. Wu's acceptable height, at the same time out of the previous refusal of the other party's guilt will agree. Then Ms. Wu was lured step by step under the liar Wu, and was finally cheated of more than 2 million yuan.

In another article I exposed the article "sad! A five Hua woman strayed into the" killing pig plate "was miserably cheated 870,000!" In, Ms. Lei met a liar on the network, the liar asked Ms. Lei, soon determined the love relationship. Then the scammer began to invite Ms. Lei to invest and make money together, but the cautious Ms. Lei refused. After the liar lowered the requirements, said Ms. Lei can first learn to observe, feel reliable and feasible to reinvest, so Ms. Lei agreed to the requirements of the liar, into an investment group. Ms. Lei saw that people in the group continued to invest in profit and screenshots to show off, she also gradually began to shake, and later, under the temptation of liars, many times into gold, a total of 870,000 yuan was cheated.

It can be seen from the above cases that for the target victims with strong vigilance psychology, the "demolition effect" is a tool for fraudsters to break the defense without going anywhere, silently letting the target victims fall step by step without knowing it.

How to deal with the "demolition effect" and avoid being cheated

In the face of fraudsters using the "demolition effect" to crack their vigilance, in a passive state and full of trust in crooks, uninformed investors are actually difficult to have a more effective ability to stop, but it is not without solution.

First of all, investors should establish a firm sense of prevention in daily life, and be extremely vigilant when it comes to investment and financial management, fund transfer and other related matters;

Second, once you are aware of being cheated, you should immediately stop the transfer, and at the same time, while dealing with the fraudsters, quickly collect evidence and report to the police for rights protection;

Finally, the most fundamental way is not to blindly follow or blindly believe in unknown financial investment projects, find out the details of the investment platform before investing in gold, and choose a formal platform for investment.
