Factors of Being Deceived Through the Media

Abstract

         Communication in the present era is unavoidably important to people of all ages and genders because, as we can see, there are both good and bad media. Therefore, the factors in using it must be careful. Media users must be mindful and remind themselves not to believe in the media or information providers who are not truthful or from experts. However, if media users are not mindful and only have desires, there is always a chance that they will fall victim to fraudsters who come to communicate. Therefore, media users must be mindful in receiving information correctly and clearly so as not to fall into the path of fraudsters who disguise themselves to deceive with various methods in the form of media communication. Importantly, media users must not be selfish with desires and needs that are devoid of reality. They must be mindful and not anxiously excited by media trends or strategies and methods of ill-wishers to take advantage of the media. It can be seen that in the present era, the damage caused by fraudsters who come to communicate in various forms will attract and create those who are not aware of it to become the ones who suffer, such as cases of money being sucked from the bank account system or being hired to open a bank account for ill-wishers, etc.
