This stuff is nuts and I run into it all the time
It’s funny/sad that I don’t fully trust both relatives much older than me & relatives much younger than me to handle money online, because neither are well-equipped to spot internet scams. I find it hard to teach, too. https://t.co/cOhuOev4VA

Yeah, isn’t that weird? Only a maybe 15 year slice of Gen X and older millennials can spot scams as they are the only ones who learned how to use real computers and had to actually think about how email, the internet, websites and related technologies functioned.
Send someone over 50 or under 35 an email scam or a fake website, they are gonna be sending their money to that Nigerian prince fucking pronto. It’s wild.
