Ask before acting
| Question | Answer before acting |
|---|---|
| Who profits from my urgency? | |
| What written proof exists? | |
| Can I verify this outside the seller’s own materials? | |
| What happens if I wait 24 hours? | |
| What fees, data access, contract terms, or obligations are hidden? | |
| Would I tell someone I love to do this? | |
| Who can give me a calm second opinion? |
Warning signs
Decide now. Tell no one. Guaranteed. Secret method. Everyone else is lying. You are special. This will fix everything.
First rule
If the offer cannot survive daylight, sleep, and one calm witness, it is not rescue.
