Chapter 1992 Asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket! ! ! !
There are thousands of ways to start a fraud, but the word "fake" always remains the same. If a stranger asks for a money transfer, people will flatly refuse. What the fraudsters have to do is to keep "pretending to be real" to make the victim feel "real" and then agree to all the fraudsters' requests.
First of all, it is a fake identity. Establishing a fake identity is the beginning of fraud. He (she) can be a public security officer who handles cases impartially, a gentle and wealthy boyfriend (girlfriend), a helpful classmate, a lovely and charming online anchor, a financial planner who is proficient in investment, an ordinary person with a miserable life... However, their true identity is only one: a fraudster.
As the saying goes, "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." Fraud gangs have perfect scripts and rich character information to make you believe in their identities. Once you trust their "characters," you will subconsciously ignore the doubts in their words.
For example, those guys just now kept mentioning family and friends, and coupled with their own descriptions of their life stories, Thor and Melinoe were stunned. It's not that Thor and Melinoe are really that stupid.
It was just that they had agreed before they came that they would keep their identities secret, so the two of them simply treated themselves as ordinary people. More importantly, the two of them were very curious about the Almighty City.
Thor had only heard of the Almighty City from his father before, but had never been there. Although Odin had never had a good impression of the Pantheon, he was still very impressed by the Almighty City. It must be said that this place was definitely a miracle, even Asgard could not compare to it.
So Thor was also curious about what the Almighty City was like. Now that he was here, of course he had to experience it, and he could better observe this miracle city from the perspective of an ordinary person.
As for Melinoe, to be honest, it was also her first time in the Almighty City.
There is no way. On the one hand, both her parents belong to the underworld gods... In fact, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, had other divine duties before. Persephone herself is the goddess of seeds, and her main corresponding position is the seeds of grains commonly used in ancient Greece. When she was in the underworld, she represented the seeds sleeping in the dark soil. When she returned to the ground in spring, the power of Demeter, the goddess of growth, awakened the seeds, and the seeds began to wake up and sprout. The goddesses of the seasons would come to welcome Persephone back to the sisters. But as her status in the underworld improved, she decisively gave up other divine duties and concentrated on being her own Queen of the Underworld.
On the one hand, the underworld really needs someone to assist Hades, the god of the underworld.
On the other hand, it was due to Persephone's own hatred for Zeus.
So this situation came about.
Because of the special nature of the underworld, Melinoe knows very little about the outside world. She is a bit like a young lady who grew up in a secluded courtyard, with talent but no experience.
Not in tune with worldly affairs.
So I immediately believed the nonsense these people said.
The second way to deceive people is to use fake credentials. This credential can be anything from a fake official document. In order to gain the trust of the victim, the fraudster will present a large number of documents: police officer ID, arrest warrant, confidentiality agreement, court summons, work permit, company license... After seeing these materials, many people believe in the other party's identity and completely lose their vigilance. The following materials are all fake documents forged by fraudsters based on the personal information provided by the victim!
This thing is actually not difficult to imitate, after all, it is written in black and white. People who are not exposed to these things for a long time are very easy to be deceived.
It just so happens that Thor and Melinoe know nothing about the Omnipotent City. In fact, everyone who comes to the Omnipotent City is unfamiliar with it!
So easy to cheat!
For example, who the hell would pay attention to things like court summonses and arrest warrants?
This group of people, with the so-called official authorization from the Almighty City, are trying their best to deceive Thor and Melinoe, just to tell them that they have a history and are legitimate!
When someone tells you that he will never lie to you, in most cases, he is lying to you!
Then there are the fake stories. The fake official documents above, coupled with a carefully fabricated story, can "brainwash" the victim both rationally and emotionally. Whether you are said to be involved in a major case and need to cooperate with the investigation, or that you are well versed in investment insider information and can help you make money, or that you are short of money recently and need help, or that you are exchanging currency at a high price or making money by swiping orders... No matter how well the fraudsters talk, they are just for the final goal: to defraud money!
These people's routines are similar. They all say that they have connections, and as long as Thor and others are willing to pay, they can do it. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, as long as you help them work, you can still save money!
In short, if you can cheat money, do it. If you don’t have money, just be a loser!
The main point is not to waste!
Of course, if you don't fall for it, they have ways to deal with it.
False threats. There are generally two types of "threats" from scammers to victims: "performances" to cooperate with the scam process, and "intimidation" after the scam is exposed. During the scam, the scammers will constantly warn the victims that if they do not follow their instructions, they will be arrested and sentenced, and that they must never disclose relevant information to the outside world and must always report their activities. What's more, after they have defrauded the victim's money, they will instruct the victim to contact his family and claim that he has been kidnapped and demand a ransom, and then cheat again. If the scam is exposed, the scammers will also threaten the victim with "I am from the XX underworld, I know your address, and I will come to your door if you don't give me money." Such threats are particularly common in nude chat scams.
These people will tell Xinrun people that if you don’t give them money, you will be killed or reported by them.
This is the same as walking a line in real life. There are wolves and tigers everywhere on the road. These people may be local gangs, snakeheads, teammates walking with you, or even other messy things.
You know, many people along that route rely on these route workers for their livelihood.
The robbery was just basic.
Rape is common, and women are more or less harassed. Men are also not safe.
Why? Because these people who walk the line have no protection at all. They are at the bottom of the food chain. Even ordinary people who pass by can take care of them.
The same goes for Runren of the Almighty City.
What do they have?
Nothing!
They are at the bottom of the food chain, and no matter how they are treated, no one will stand up for them.
In this situation, every threat is successful!
There are few ways to cheat people, just take advantage of other people's fear.
Just like in real life, frauds that impersonate the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs are taking advantage of people's fear. In daily life, most people are law-abiding and make a living legally. When they are suddenly told that they are involved in a major case and will be sentenced, their first reaction is fear. When people are in a state of panic, they often cannot make rational judgments and can only fall into the trap of fraudsters step by step.
Then take advantage of greed.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, but many people think they are different. If good things that others can't get happen to you, it's reasonable... I really don't know what these people think. It's possible that you have never won a drink in your life, so why do you think you will be lucky? And even if there is good luck, why must it fall on you? Are you more virtuous than others, or are you more capable than others?
Even if you are handsome/beautiful, you can still dream about it!
But you are nothing, you are just an ordinary person. In this TV series, you are not the protagonist, not even a supporting role with a name. You are just a blurry background in the distance! Not even a supporting role!
In reality, investment fraud often exploits people's greed for money and promises people false assurances of "getting rich overnight." Many people cannot resist the temptation of high returns and selectively ignore the suspicious aspects of investment projects or even illegal risks.
When you encounter this situation, just think about one thing: If there is such a good opportunity, why would others introduce it to you?
Wouldn't it be good for him to make money himself?
What else is there to exploit feelings? In the "pig-killing scam" where the victim falls in love first and then gets the money, the scammers will first patiently lay out the plan and show deep affection, making the victim believe in the love in front of them. Even after being defrauded of their money, they still fantasize that "he (she) still loves me and will never cheat on me"... I can only say, watch less Mary Sue! Both men and women!
Kai had been sleeping in Aphrodite's arms before, and no one knew what was going on.
After he understood, he turned his head and looked at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite had a teasing look on her face as she looked at Thor and Melinoe who were confused by what they were saying.
Love...is deception!
Although Aphrodite is not good at deceiving the priests, she is the best at deceiving people!
They are also the people who are most likely to be deceived.
Love is like this, it can easily make people lose their minds.
But at the same time, apart from deceptions in love, Aphrodite is rarely deceived!
Because you can’t cheat. You really can’t cheat!
She was just watching the show.
Kai turned his head to look at the two idiots, then grabbed the one who was talking nonsense and threw him out.
The people around him scattered suddenly.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The lower the level, the simpler and more direct the rules are.
The Almighty City is not a paradise, it is just the paradise that the gods built for themselves. As for other people... they are the screws and consumables of this paradise!
The only ones who are not are the residents!
It is also in this kind of ecology that, at the bottom level, the most practical thing is fists!
As long as you are not easy to mess with, they will never mess with you!
This is a principle that applies throughout the universe.
Without exception!
"Huh?!! They haven't finished yet!" Melinoe exclaimed. She quite liked listening to them talk about this.
What a wonderful dream of an omnipotent city!
It seems that once you get here, as long as you work hard for a period of time, you will enter heaven completely!
Melinoe is a young man who likes such dreams.
Isn’t that great?
This is just like the situation after our reform and opening up, when countless young people took the American dream as the truth.
American dream.
This is how they describe the word.
'The American Dream in a broad sense refers to equality, freedom, and democracy in the United States; in a narrow sense, it refers to an ideal that believes that a better life can be achieved through unremitting efforts in the United States, that is, people must move towards prosperity through their own hard work, courage, creativity, and determination, rather than relying on a specific social class and the help of others.
At that time, people believed that the United States was different from most other countries in that it had considerable economic freedom and the government played a very limited role, which made social mobility in the United States extremely high and anyone could reach the top through their own efforts.
For more than 200 years, the "American Dream" has been inspiring countless young people around the world who have dreams, either immigrating or studying. They have given up their homeland and experienced untold hardships just to come to this land and create their own value. As a result, the United States has become the cradle of many successful people in the world.'
(For the clear connotation of the American Dream, please refer to "Liu Zhirong: Interpretation of the American Dream". Of course, just read it and don't take it seriously. You can know the nature of this author by just reading his books. However, the so-called intellectuals who grew up in that era are all of this nature. It makes people's heads hurt when reading it.)
But what is the reality?
Reality is... fucking reality!
Dreams are just dreams!
The same is true for the Almighty City.
But the problem is that Melinoe doesn't know!
So she was proud that the gods had created such a dreamlike utopia...she was also one of the gods.
"Just listen to this kind of talk, they are all liars!"
Kai was still curious about where this child came from.
How come when I woke up, there was a girl?
He turned his head to look at Thor and found that Thor was holding someone else's hand without him knowing when... What is this?
Kai immediately turned to Aphrodite and asked, "How long have I been sleeping, two years?"
Aphrodite smiled slightly, and that smile had a sense of amazement that said, "Oh my god, so beautiful!"
To be honest, Aphrodite has always been very beautiful, but Kai has a prejudice against her in his heart, so even though she is stunning, he definitely doesn't feel like someone kicked his heart.
As the saying goes, my heart is moved!
"No, there was a little accident on the way, but it's nothing, it was all resolved. The two of them also developed feelings for each other because of this encounter. They are both young men and women, isn't this normal?"
This is not wrong. After all, some people can meet eight or ten people they like in the time it takes to buy a pack of cigarettes.
It’s impossible to tell.
But...Thor doesn't seem to be that kind of person.
Kai quietly asked about the girl's identity.
Aphrodite did not hide anything and explained everything clearly.
Kai was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of Melinoe's name... This was normal. He hadn't seen many gods before, and Melinoe himself was not very popular. Hades only appeared as a villain in Earth's cultural works, not to mention his wife and children.
(Hades is really miserable. He had little presence in ancient times, but in modern times, he is often portrayed as a villain... In fact, he is a rare honest god in Olympus. He only made one mistake in his life, which was to rob Persephone. But compared to Zeus and Poseidon, he is nothing! What these two old scoundrels have done is thousands of times more excessive than this! Even Apollo has done similar things. But Hades has always been regarded as a villain... It's unbelievable)
