Sunday Funnies: Social Engineering in Action

Here’s another look at social engineering.  Another safe for everyone joke from Aaron at Miller Brothers.

A man went to his lawyer and told him, “My neighbor owes me $500 and he won’t pay up. What should I do?”

“Do you have any proof he owes you the money?” asked the lawyer.

“Nope,” replied the man.

“OK, then write him a letter asking him for the $5,000 he owed you,” said the lawyer.

“But it’s only $500,” replied the man.

“Precisely. That’s what he will reply and then you’ll have your proof!”
