A certain person commented news of another senior being scammed: "How stupid you have to be to fall to *this*." I thought "probably the same stupid as you".
Yes, elderly people fall victim to scams. So do middle-aged people and young people. The only real difference is that they lived in different times, and they fall victim to *different* scams.
People think they're smart because they don't fall for "elderly" scams but they give their PII freely to all kinds of surveillance capitalism corporations when baited with a few cents (or not even baited properly, just "some companies give you discount, so maybe this one will give one too"). Or fall victim to "great" offers.
Then, some people buy NFTs…

Can't imagine kicking a victim while they are down...
