Book Description
At the beginning of this summer (2014) I got into correspondence with a charming 'Captain Robert Morgan' who offered me certain irresistible business opportunities that would end my financial difficulties and make it possible to develop the projects I work on, both personal and for the betterment of the country I live in. Contacting him seemed like the answer to my many prayers. The only hitch was that there was no Captain Robert Morgan and no investment plan: it was a '419 Scam, ' so named after the article in Nigeria's Criminal Code dealing with fraud. Actually, it was a variety of the 419 Advance Fee Scam (remember Phillip K.Dick's story 'Second Variety'?). I don't know which order this variety is, but it's called 'Diplomatic Consignment Scam'. Unwittingly, I started 'scam baiting': I played along to see what his game was. And I found out that it was dirty and harmful. I have documented my whole 'romance' with 'Captain Robert' and included useful data that may give a clue on what to do in a similar situation. Nowadays, when we all actively use the Internet, any of us is a potential target of scammers. And these guys have no scruples. I believe my experience will be useful. Please, read it and warn others.

Deception and Deceptive Communication
Author: Innocent Chiluwa
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781536128499
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
We live in an era when individuals, organizations and even communities constantly lie and deceive others; in turn, these groups of people are lied to and deceived. Because of the pervasiveness of lying and deceptive behavior, individuals and groups frequently complain of being routinely cheated or duped. Leaked documents detailing deception tactics, WikiLeaks and revelations about large-scale deception, contribute to the perception that there exists a culture of lying This collection brings together deception scholars from around the world, coming from the various academic disciplines and sub-disciplines with different approaches and perspectives to contribute to answering the question about what constitutes lying and deception, its motivations and behavioral control. For instance, when is deception a deception; when do you know that someone is lying to you? Can certain forms of deceptive communication amount to communicative competence? Can we indeed control deception? Hence, the chapters written by experts (most of them full-time professors) have examined theoretical and conceptual issues in deception studies, as well as case studies of deceptive communication and behavior. Topics such as Kantian absolute prohibition against lying; neurocognitive elements to build a cognitive model to analyze deception; the results of a competency test on judgements of child witness credibility; medical students deceptive behaviors in two medical schools; strategic deception in the age of truthiness; online deception through email business scams; and beauty and deception will certainly be of immense interest to deception scholars, students and practitioners in psychology, forensic linguistics, sociology, security studies, applied linguistics, journalism and communication/media studies. This book is therefore highly recommended to be used as a resource book or handbook to students and scholars of deception studies and all others, whose research interests include deceptive behavior, deception detection and control.
