Who doesn’t fall for scams? Most of us do. The fact
is that there are numerous scams that you probably knew nothing about.
Scammers can actually be quite clever. From antivirus to diamond rings,
scams are everywhere. Price gouging, misrepresentation, and the whole
gamut of nasty tactics are employed to get you into their little scheme.
And the craziest thing? Most of us will still fall for it. These are
some scams that most people don’t know anything about.
