Why is it so hard to spot the dishonest online ?
A lot of times we are forced to wonder why it can be so hard to spot the dishonest online, even when you happen to be good at it in other times. Well, here are a few reasons.
* You can’t judge body language, which is a major factor in determining veracity in face to face conversations.
* Obvious things, like a 15 year old claiming to be a gynocologist, are impossible to tell.
* Context doesn’t exist. In real life where you meet someone is just as important as what they say.
That is why scams are so much more prevalent and why it is harder to tell.
