Also, don't trust someone who trusts you without good reason.


"Also, don't trust someone who trusts you without good reason."

That's not good advice. Yes it will help with scams, but will hurt you with every other part of life.

Did you read the last line/paragraph in the article?


Alright, let me rephrase that:

"Don't trust unusually nice strangers who trust you too eagerly."

It helps with many different breeds of manipulators.


I find that you should also be wary of people who accept others regardless of their shady behavior. Usually it indicates they are just using everyone around them, as they don't care about moral values.
