Blog about a good case of social engineering

Social engineering in real life is actually very easy to do if someone knows the background and plays on the human naive thinking about the current emergency or situation. I would put it as everything is possible and people don't tend to be not too paranoid on these kinds of cases. For example it's quite easy to scam bus control officers with just playing fool foreign person and start talking with them some language they definitely don't know.

How to avoid social engineering attempts? In real life there has to be knowhow for the people who are working in these kind of areas, where it could happen that someone can do tricks with them.
