      This is a good point. That story was bunkers and there is certainly degrees of gullibility but everyone has some degree of vulnerability to scams. Also, a factor: how determined/capable is your adversary?https://twitter.com/profdaf/status/1154446864562868224 …

      If you are human, there’s a scam for you. It may not be as dramatic as that one, but we are all afraid of something or in need of something - which is every scammers starting point. scammers don’t need to succeed often to achieve success. You think you’re too smart? 3/

      The usual things apply. Is it too good to be true? Would it hurt to ask a friend if it all makes sense? Even assuming everything is great, what would be a way to check if it weren't? As anyone who reads case studies knows, humility is protective but overconfidence is a weakness.

          Earlier case: Older white professor approached by a "bikini model" who allegedly falls for him but would like him to pick up.. an empty suitcase.. from South America.. with "sentimental value".. delivered by a guy, not the bikini model. And he does.🤷‍♀️ https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/magazine/the-professor-the-bikini-model-and-the-suitcase-full-of-trouble.html …

          You know the drill. Twitter threads would be in unstable flux for politics and diplomacy if edits were permitted. #JackieNoEdits

          hahaha. I feel like I'm the only person allowed to correct your spelling. (Completely untrue; but it's a passing emotion that I have.) And, I resisted "bunkers" so he should too. ;-)
