’Gullible’ is a synonym for ‘naive’ which means that the person is too trusting and believes whatever is said to them easily. Few examples :
1. The public is not gullible to believe these false promises made by the politicians.
2. Lack of experience in the industry made him gullible.
3. Viewers should stop being gullible and analyse the news reports.

“How could ANYONE fall for this kind of scam?”
I get that question a lot these days. The story below from Joe Tidy of the BBC News demonstrates how these sophisticated (aka “well funded”) crimes TARGET invidiuals in an attempt to lure them into fake crypto investments. (THANKS FOR THE SCREEN SHOTS JOE!!)
REMEMBER - Pig Butchering campaigns are targeted romance investment scams…
…different than the “sex-tortion” campaigns targeting teens
… different than the SMS gateway phishing campaigns looking for your personal data (see recent post from Nguyen Nguyen for more on those)
#pigbutchering rose 53% in 2023 - to whooping a $4B/year industry (FBI numbers, not mine!) - rivaling the fentanyl crisis in the USA as the #2 crime.
#pigbutchering represents 40% of the GDP of Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos… that’s EACH country… not a combined GDP. EACH. COUNTRY….
#itcanhappentoyou or your Mom, or your brother, or your business partner, or your boss.
- Joe’s video is short and to the point. WATCH IT.

‘Pig butchering’ scammers target BBC reporter.
It started with a direct message on Instagram. Jessica was an attractive 36-year-old woman looking for romance. I suspected it was a scam but wasn’t sure what kind. In the end, "Jessica’" turned out to be a "pig butchering" scammer and over 9 weeks I got an in-depth insight into how they operate. These types of scams cost victims at least $3bn last year according to the FBI. I filmed the whole experience on my phone with diary videos and screen records. Producer and editor Paul Ivan Harris did a superb job on the edit.

For my older daughter's entire life, I've talked about "Huntley-Brinkley'ing" acquisition briefings, and I just found out last night that she had no idea what I meant. Funny how time rolls on, and new terminology pops up, and old terminology dies out and you don't realize it. Pop culture is like a private, unspoken language.
I first started using the term when I was an intern and all the acquisition experts were older than I was and had been present for the Huntley-Brinkley news-team from 1956 to 1970. I knew who they were because I was in elementary school during their last episode, and watching the nightly news was a big deal in our house when I was a child, especially because my big brothers were draft-age and their friends weren't coming home from Vietnam. (Let me know if I need to explain the concern.) Those were the days of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, and David Brinkley.
Huntley and Brinkley were dual anchors, said goodnight to each other at the end of the show, and just ... CLASSY ... presenters. They were great role models for why I, ten years later, declared a journalism major, about a year before the beginning of 24-hours news and an opinion-based, advertising-based journalism model. For laughs, I'm linking their last episode, which shows their rival at CBS saying goodbye to the NBC team (the 2 big networks then, and 2 of maybe 3 channels you could get on your newfangled color TVs that weighed 500 pounds).
So when you hear a boomer or older GenXer talking about Huntley-Brinkley'ing an acquisition briefing, they simply mean they're going to trade-off parts of the briefing with a PM, Contracting Officer, etc, in a very classy and informed way.
