Hello everyone,
So today we were at this startup event where the goal was to connect with like minded people and discuss general entrepreneurial problems.
There was this old bold man all suited and he sounded 100% legitimate to me, we approached him and had a long talk about his ventures, so before we leave we exchanged our phone numbers in hope for further discussions and maybe work (me and him), I was all serious about it while my friends sounded not, so when we left they started talking about how suspicious this man was, and how his talk in some cases contradicts and made no sense, while I was like wooow I almost believed all of what he has said how can I miss what they have noticed!
They were right, on our way out we stumbled on him driving "rusty Hyundai" -not saying that what you drive is important but at least with his successful ventures as he claimed he can no way drive this car- so after I got home I searched this man up and no results found, no linked In no business profile nothing, only that he or someone with his same name "holds 0 appointments at 0 active companies, has resigned from 3 companies and held 0 appointments at 0 dissolved companies."
Anyway this is not the first time this happens to me, I always fall for people scams, it's like am some big people relationships idiot and this is frustrating. the ability to process ones speech and honesty is just not there, I don't know how I assume always that people are honest and truthful while being blinded to anything else.
So, If anyone please have any advice or methodology to follow so people like me can build that sense of detecting people trustworthy and deception, please please please share it with us because this is important, this might save someones life not only his business
