Trust Your Gut: 10 Universal Signs You Might Be Getting Conned

Con Men, Scams, Phishing and Other Disgusting Practices and How to Get Ahead of Them, Book 1

De: Alsden Keir

Narrado por: Michael Robinson

Have you ever had that strange little feeling in your stomach—the one that whispers, “Something isn’t right here…” even when everything on the surface seems perfectly normal? That feeling, often referred to as your gut instinct or intuition, is more than just superstition. It’s a deeply rooted biological and psychological response—a powerful internal alarm system designed to alert you to potential danger or deception.

In a world full of fast-talking salespeople, persuasive pitches, and increasingly sophisticated scams, trusting your gut has never been more important. That internal signal—quiet, subtle, but persistent—can often detect what your conscious mind hasn’t yet processed. And when it comes to spotting a con artist, that inner voice might just be your best defense.

The Many Faces of the Con: When people think of scams, they often imagine dramatic heists or strangers tricking someone into wiring money overseas. But the truth is, cons come in many forms—and they aren’t always about money. You can be conned into giving away personal information, compromising your time, handing over control, or even entering relationships under false pretenses.
