When someone wants to take advantage of you they have either have been taught or it’s instinct to recognize a target.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know if you are a “potential” victim before you become a victim and leveling the playing field? By the time you finish reading these few words you will begin to recognize yourself. And start to protect yourself more.
If you have ever made any of these comments you’re ripe for the “pickings” or already had been harvested and you don’t even know it.
1.“I don’t see what the big deal is about sending money….”
2.“I never send more than I would spend on a date…this keeps me from sending too much”
3.“She’s my wife and I am supposed to support her!”(this is not true unless she is your wife)
4.“She’s poor and I want to help her…”
5.“I’ll just send her $25 or $50 now and then..”
6. If you believe yourself when making any of these statements you’re more vulnerable that you think.
7.You have already justified your actions in your mind.
8.You don’t believe you can be hurt like this.
And this is the most dangerous mindset anyone can have is when someone doesn’t believe “IT” can happen to them. It can happen to them!
Think about it.
- If you think you’re invincible.. are you invincible? NO!
- If you don’t believe you’re vulnerable.. are you vulnerable? Yes, of course we all are.
- If you think you’re too smart to be “taken for a ride.” are you? NO…and you will never see it coming!It’s as simple as that…start now being honest with yourself and admit if you have ever said anything in this list. If you don’t want to be honest with yourself stop reading right now.
I’m sure you will be just fine.
I write for the people that care enough to protect themselves and realize their vulnerability.With so much information available right under your nose there’s really no reason to become a victim.
Is there?
