Social Media Campaign
Authority: an attacker may try to appear to have a certain level authority. Intimidation: may try to make the victim think that something terrible is going to happen if they don't comply with the attacker's wishes. Consensus: An attacker may try to sway the mind of a victim using names they are familiar with, saying that such ones provided them information (they are fishing for) in the past and you should be able to do the same. Scarcity: An attacker may try to set a time limit on a victim so that they can comply with their wishes by a certain deadline. Familiarity: they make you familiar with them on the phone and make you want to do things for them. Trust: The attacker in this case can claim to be a friend or close associate of someone you may know very well and that's trusted. Urgency: When attackers want you to act and not think, they want you to do what they want as quickly as possible so that there's no time to spot all the red flags.
The indexed versions don't agree on this one
