Abstract
A proposed study of the pressure tactics used in scam calls and messages (fear of blocking, arrest, lost money, limited-time offers) and which of them people find most convincing.
Research objective
To identify the most common pressure cues in publicly reported scam scripts and test whether teaching people to recognise them changes how quickly they verify a request.
Methodology
Planned approach: collect examples only from official public advisories and the author's own awareness sessions, group them by tactic, then run a short before-and-after quiz with student volunteers who agree to take part. Responses will be anonymous.
Conclusion
This is a proposed research idea. No data has been collected yet and there are no results or findings. It will be updated if and when the work is carried out.
