Jenny 的逐字稿底加！ Intro: G’day, VoiceTubers! How important are our clothes to the way other people see us? What about our hair? Our make-up? Is it easier to trust someone who looks neat and sophisticated? The answer is most likely yes. A person wearing a suit might make people take him or her more seriously. But have that same person wear shorts and a t-shirt and people might see him or her in a completely different light. These are just examples of social stigma. Somehow our brains are inclined to work this way to judge people without us even realizing it. Some people, however, are using this to their advantage. Our video today talks about a phenomenon called the lab coat effect. Scammers are good at pretending to look like someone of authority, by dressing up seriously and speaking accordingly, making us believe that he is who he claims to be. We must be careful and make sure we look out for signs of fraud from the beginning. A man who shows up at the front door claiming he’s from the gas department says he needs to change your device for safety reasons and charge you for it? Usually, there would be a written notice put out in advance so it’d be a good idea to check earlier on if what he is saying is legit. Ask the guy to prove proof of identification before you let him in. The last time a guy came to upgrade our gas meter, the fee was charged onto our next utility bill. So, if you’re asked to pay cash in person, it’s best to verify that it’s not a scam. Alright, let’s have a listen to our sentence of the day.
Sentence: So if our brains follow authority, how do we bolster our defenses against scammers in sheep's clothing? 所以如果我們的大腦會跟隨著權威的話，我們該如何在面對披著羊皮的詐騙犯時提高自己的保護力呢？
