Social engineering is often associated with cybercrime and fraud. However, this "weapon" can be a valuable asset in legitimate business, especially in affiliate marketing, where everything revolves around influencing human psychology.
What is Social Engineering?
Influencing people through words, gestures, and emotions is an art mastered by social engineers. They study psychology, track people's behavior and reactions, and learn how to predict and control their actions.The most striking examples include phone scammers who pose as bank employees to extract confidential information from unsuspecting victims. Another example is con artists who exploit people's greed or fears to manipulate them.
