This was a timely, fascinating and relevant-for-right-now chat with Stacey Wood, Ph.D. - Professor of Psychology at Scripps College in California. We spoke about the way deception, fraud and manipulation "works" from a psychological, emotional, sociological, practical and legal perspective. Turns out that - when it comes to scamming vulnerable people - some scumbags are charming, charismatic, articulate sociopaths who understand how to manipulate people's emotions, actions and back accounts, for personal gain. Like I said, scumbags. Enjoy.
