This type of application can affect anyone, depending on the context and circumstances. 

​

Some requests or offers are presented as urgent: a decision is expected immediately, a payment may be required quickly, or an action may be requested “without delay.”

 

In these moments, a sense of urgency can limit the ability to step back.

 

Situations presented as urgent can take different forms:

 

• pressure to act quickly

• a time-limited offer

• a message referring to immediate consequences

 

Taking a moment to reflect and verify often helps to better understand the situation and assess what is being presented.
