In almost every scam there is this game – it’s about the only thing consistent between the different formats of social engineering attacks.  To be of any use for security protection you have to think like a ‘real social engineer,’ you need to understand the brazen dedication these people have to being rogue — forget some American retail giant and look closer to home.”
