Peningkatan penggunaan Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) dan pelan ansuran telah mengubah cara pengguna mendapatkan perkhidmatan kecantikan dan penjagaan diri. Walaupun sistem ini kelihatan lebih fleksibel dan mampu milik, ia turut menimbulkan kebimbangan berkaitan taktik jualan agresif, psikologi pengguna, serta komitmen kewangan jangka panjang.
Dalam sesetengah pusat perniagaan kesihatan dan kecantikan, strategi jualan sering direka untuk mewujudkan perasaan terdesak melalui tawaran masa terhad, pakej eksklusif dan sesi konsultasi yang meyakinkan. Pengguna kadangkala berasa tertekan untuk membuat keputusan dalam masa yang singkat walaupun pada awalnya masih ragu-ragu. Tekanan ini biasanya berlaku secara halus melalui mesej seperti “tawaran sekali seumur hidup” atau amaran bahawa mereka akan kehilangan manfaat jika tidak mengambil pakej tersebut. Ini boleh menjejaskan keupayaan pengguna untuk membuat keputusan yang benar-benar bermaklumat.

The growing popularity of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) schemes and instalment-based payment options has changed how consumers access beauty and personal care services. While these payment models appear to offer flexibility and affordability, they also raise concerns involving aggressive sales tactics, consumer psychology, and long-term financial commitment.
In some beauty and wellness centre, sales strategies are designed to create urgency through time-limited offers, exclusive packages, and persuasive consultations. Consumers may feel pressured to make immediate decisions, even when they initially express hesitation. This pressure is often subtle rather than direct, relying on psychological cues such as claims that a deal is “once in a lifetime” or that missing it means losing valuable benefits. As a result, consumers may not always make fully informed or rational decisions.

Scam prevention has long been framed as a technological arms race—better cybersecurity systems, tighter regulations, and stronger laws. While these are undeniably important, they are not sufficient. The uncomfortable truth is that scams persist not merely because of gaps in systems, but because they exploit something far more predictable and universal: human psychology. If we are serious about reducing scam victimisation, we must move beyond a purely institutional response and invest in scam literacy programmes that deeply integrate the psychology of scams to drive real behavioural change.
At its core, a scam is not just a technical deception; it is a psychological manipulation. Scammers do not randomly target vulnerabilities in software alone—they target vulnerabilities in people. Fear, urgency, trust, greed, loneliness, authority, and hope are the real entry points. Whether it is a phone call claiming to be from a bank, a message about a loved one in distress, or an investment promising unusually high returns, the tactics are carefully designed to override rational thinking and trigger emotional responses.
