Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 510 - 501: Never Assume Others Think the Way You Do

Sure enough, it’s the words with a strong attack that easily capture people’s attention.

Finally, I got these students a little out of the "silent" atmosphere, not easy.

Nan Zhubin also smiled and explained, "I’m not insulting anyone with this statent, but stating a fact."

"It’s not to say that scam syndicates are exceedingly evil, devoid of conscience, outrageous, and have no right to be considered human beings—although they indeed are."

Laughter started echoing from the students.

Nan Zhubin did not explain much and instead turned around to start the PPT.

Today, he did not adopt a verbatim script style as last ti, because today is not about exploring the scamr’s step-by-step tricks through word analysis like last ti, nor analyzing the psychological principles behind it.

Moreover, the choice of such a format last ti was more about concentrating the students’ attention; as for the case Nan Zhubin chose today, even a simple presentation is enough to catch the eye.

"In the case materials presented next, I used a pseudonym, the victim being ’Ms. D.’"

Saying that, Nan Zhubin pressed the laser pointer—

[In June 2017, Ms. D was contacted by a fake custor service representative posing as a criminal while shopping online, claiming that Ms. D left a poor review on the latest exhibit. After negotiations, the fake custor service claid to offer a "guaranteed refund" of the amount spent on the product without the need to return the goods...]

So students, upon seeing this, had their spirits slightly dampened once more.

Online shopping scams, brush order scams, these have been ntioned countless tis in various awareness campaigns, and even if one gets scamd, it’s probably only for a few dozen bucks, nothing major.

Only a few students with sowhat strong curiosity continued to look at the PPT, noticing that the case presented by Nan Zhubin seed more detailed than usual and more intriguing than typical warning cases.

They usually know that when encountering such situations, they will be scamd, but they don’t know the specifics of how they’re scamd.

Nan Zhubin glanced at the reaction of the students below, understanding that the beginning of this case was sowhat lacking in appeal, so he began to read aloud directly.

The deep and steady voice seed to have penetrating power, forcibly entering the ears of students who were lazy to listen.

[After the negotiation was completed, the scamr sent Ms. D a "dedicated link for modifying reviews." After clicking it, Ms. D was redirected to the login page of the online shopping platform she used.]

[The page showed that Ms. D needed to log in again. Normally, Ms. D logged into the platform with a one-click login using her QQ account, and upon discovering the "one-click login" function was unavailable, she entered her QQ account and password in the account and password fields.]

[Upon verification by the technical departnt, the "login page" was a fake created by the scamr, and all the link buttons were rely images; only the "account input," "password input," and "login" sections were operational.]

Several students initially thought this was so kind of advanced scam where a link is clicked, and a trojan virus is implanted.

Now it seems sowhat... mind-boggling?

Other students were hit by the portrayal in their minds, as they’ve indeed encountered similar scenarios—clicking a link that redirected them to a login page to re-enter their userna and password.

In daily life, such an operation seems commonplace, which ans that—when scamrs deceive in this manner, their vigilance would be very low.

[After Ms. D entered her account and password, she was led to a prolonged one-minute page redirect waiting interface. During this minute, the scamr logged into Ms. D’s QQ account and verified the authenticity of her account and password.]

So students began to exclaim, the underlying tactics seed quite impressive.

Everyone is used to internet lag, so encountering such a situation would not arouse too much surprise. Who knew scamrs utilized this brief "lag ti" to verify the account and password?

Initially, so students thought that if they entered the wrong userna and password, they wouldn’t be scamd, but now their expressions turned conflicted.

So students began whispering among themselves, thinking that after stealing the QQ account, next, they’d use the victim to send scam ssages to friends?

[After stealing the QQ account, the scam syndicate first logged into her online album, copied all private information, and also gained access to the main chat groups she was in. When Ms. D noticed her QQ account logging in from a different location and imdiately changed the account password, it was already too late.]

[The scamrs used Ms. D’s personal life photos and selfies to create a large number of doctored explicit images and videos for extortion.]

[During the extortion process, the scamr comforted the victim, saying, "only after money, not lives." Under the scamr’s guidance, Ms. D transferred a total amount of 240,000 yuan and more from account balance and online loans to the syndicate’s account.]

The rustling sound below grew louder, and especially among the female students, who empathized and whispered under their breaths, their expressions turning indignant.

There were also so students showing incredulous expressions, knowing for the first ti that such a "photo manipulation to forge photos and videos, then blackmail" tactic existed in reality.

Amid their discussions, sporadic giggles erupted from ti to ti.

They thought this event was over.

But it wasn’t.

[Two hours later, after obtaining all the assets of Ms. D, and confirming that no more could be obtained, the scamr spread the forged photos and videos in the large groups Ms. D was in, including work groups, study groups, hobby groups, and family groups.]

[Subsequently, Ms. D jumped off the building and passed away despite resuscitation efforts.]

The occasional giggles from below ceased.

The students who were still discussing also completely quieted down.

Regardless of what thoughts were in their minds or what feelings were in their hearts, upon hearing the news of a sudden loss of life, everyone unanimously chose silence.

In this silence, after a long mont, Nan Zhubin slowly spoke: "The more painful the tragedies of the past are, the more we need to learn from them."

"In this case, the first point." Nan Zhubin held up one finger, "Is naturally to present to everyone in detail the cri process. Facing unfamiliar links, facing unfamiliar login pages, what you might encounter is not so trojan virus, but a ticulously designed disguise."

"Secondly." Nan Zhubin held up a second finger, "That is, in the face of scamrs, never regard them as ’people.’"
