However, you can save yourself the pain of loss and embarrassment by learning how the scammers do it. We are human and can't avoid responding to triggers of our feelings. However, we can know better ways to invest and make money. People who passed on Madoff's pyramid scheme were people who already had a successful investment plan. They passed because they had a plan. Scammers are sales people. The crucial principles for sales people are: 1. Enchantment-gaining our trust by satisfying our emotions. 2. An emotional story is more powerful than the facts. 3. Everyone wants to feel important and respected. Your first question for any investment offer or deal is to know "what the seller obtains"-how are they compensated when you sign up or buy something? We protect ourselves by using our own investment strategy--one we understand.
