Scams target the elderly because they are sometimes easily fooled. Putin and Xi like this a lot.
Several months ago I noticed a huge increase in spam email. They are spoofing pretty much everything from Amazon to The Peacock+, banks Macy’s and dozens of others. They all see to becoming from .de, .edu.pl and .tech email addresses. I just filter them to the trash bin. They all have an unsubscribe link that goes to unrelated site. I suspect that’s what gets people.
I wish I was smart enough to hunt this people down, corrupt their hard drives, arrest them and upon conviction, put them in the deepest prison hole on that planet.
Seems there was a survey awhile back as to whether or not the public approved of AI being used. I don’t know (or remember) the results or if they were given, but after reading this I would definitely disapprove of AI.
Seniors are more likely to follow orders because they have lost analytical skills. They are more likely to answer a phone call or fall for a phishing email. I had a friend get taken by a Tech Support scam.
The scams have worked against the elderly and demented Biden and it’s cost a lot more than a billion.
