      3) Build-up - The victim is given an opportunity to see SHOCKING BENEFITS from a scheme. The victim's sense of greed is encouraged, such that their rational judgment of the situation might be impaired.

      4) The Small Pay-off or Convincer - The victim receives a small payout as a demonstration of the scheme's effectiveness. This may be a real amount of money, or faked in some way. In a gambling con, the victim is allowed to win several small bets.

      5) The Sudden Crisis or SHOCKING Event - This forces the victim to act immediately and induces a sense of paranoia or fear. This can be used to solidify the group and label non-believers as "others." This is the point at which the con succeeds or fails.

      6) The In-and-In - A conspirator (in on the con, but assumes the role of an interested bystander) puts an amount of money into the same scheme as the victim, to add an appearance of legitimacy to the scheme. This can reassure the victim, and gives the con man greater control

          Confidence tricks exploit typical human characteristics such as greed, dishonesty, vanity, opportunism, lust, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, desperation, and naïvety. As such, there is no consistent profile of a confidence trick victim

          Greed, the desire to ‘get something for nothing,’ is a shorthand expression of marks’ beliefs that too-good-to-be-true gains are realistic.

          How has Q made money? They haven’t asked. For a dime. Now if you want to look st other people looking to cash in on Q then ok that’s a vid argument. Just because someone follows Q doesn’t mean they believe it. They’re there to cash in on the craze & 💰.
