Abstract
Have you ever been scammed? Most of us have been scammed. Some examples might include believing someone about an investment promise that is too good to be true, trusting a car salesperson, having a grandmother who was taken advantage of a scammer calling to pretend they are a grandson in financial trouble, or believing a social media post that’s untrue. Those of us who have clicked on a phishing scam contribute to losses of over $43 billion in the last five years (according to the FBI). We all have scam stories to share. It’s not a great feeling. Betrayal, naïveté, distrust all come to mind. This article can help us think about how to avoid getting scammed in the future and how to make sure that as business owners we do what we can to avoid any perceptions of scamming our stakeholders
