Yet they still have the courage to say "my generation was smarter than kids these days"
Give it a few decades, we’ll all be just as stupid.
I've known stupid people my age no matter my age
I also defy anyone reading this not to have done something dumb in their lives
Scammers evolve to find new prey. While the phone scams and the different types of phishing might still work, I am quite that's not where most of the money is now.
We've seen kickstarter, bitcoin, mlm scams and what not. There's enough out there that have not been properly identified, too.
Also, no matter who you are, there's a way to get you. Some might be too high effort to try but if you AI impersonated my wife's voice, spoofed her number and said the right things, you could probably scam me if you called when she was at work
Dumb people are the most courageous, no?
People only think theyre smarter because there wasnt social media to show how stupid they really were.
