Cognitive Heist series #5: The Long Con


Listen Later

Welcome to Deceptive Minds - An audio newsletter about how we are fooled, how we fool ourselves, and what we can do about it.

This one is all about "The Long Con."


When the lie moves in next door.

Not every con kicks down the door. Some knock politely, charm their way inside, and stay for dinner.

In this issue , we explore the anatomy of the long con... a psychological slow-burn that trades urgency for intimacy. Think of these as more than just scams. They’re stories that unfold like relationships... until the final betrayal.
