When people see impersonation scams involving celebrities, they always make them wonder, “Why would anyone believe such a lie?”
But the people who are being deceived are completely serious and believe the lies.
No, they want to believe them.
Why is that?
I think it’s because the more bored we are, the more we humans seek “something” to distract us from that boredom.
If a celebrity or a beautiful person suddenly contacts us in our monotonous days, we hope that this event will change our daily lives.
Even if we are suspicious, we can’t get the idea of this exciting event out of our heads.
That’s why we fall for such lies.
In order to avoid being deceived, we need connections with others, hobbies and things we can be passionate about to fill the loneliness and boredom.
If you’ve been feeling bored every day lately, I want you to be especially careful.
芸能人を語る【なりすまし詐欺】は他人から見れば「なんでそんな嘘を信じてしまうのか」って思うものばかり。
だが、騙されてる渦中の本人はいたって本気で、その嘘を信じてる。
いや、信じたいと思ってしまう。それはなぜか。…
