About this episode

We like to think that con artists only prey upon the weak, or gullible. But psychologist Dan Simons says all of us can fall victim to scams, because the best scammers know how to take advantage of our biases and blindspots. 

Did you miss last week's episode about perfectionism? You can find it here. And thanks for listening!
