Try listening to your elders for a change.
Know-it-all Gen Zers are a whopping three times more likely to fall prey to online scams than their boomer grandparents, experts are warning.
Often heard boasting about being raised on the internet, the younger generation is increasingly unsafe there, with the FBI reporting a 2,000 percent increase in losses due to scams affecting those under 20 years of age — jumping from an estimated $8.2 million in 2017 to $210 million in 2022.
Born anywhere between the end of the 1990s and the early 2010s, Gen Z digital natives are said to be easy prey for bad actors, who take advantage of their love of social media and online shopping, MLive first reported.
According to the Michigan Department of Attorney General, the younger set is being bombarded with phishing emails and ads from fake web sites targeted to their likes and desires.

Lets not forget the classic “Urinate for Justice” (Forgot actual name of the scam)facebook scam where someone convinced them urinating your pants and posting it online in the name of feminism was a good idea. That was awesome.
And they were doing it?? 🤦🏻♀️
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
It was quite aa few years ago. Someone created a con that convinced an entire idiot generation to urinate their pants then upload a photo to make some kind of woke statement.
Yeah they did it. The person who started it , then told them it was all a scam and they made fools of themselves.
There are a slew of YouTube channels that bait scammers. Look up Kitboga, Scammer Payback, and Scammer Revolt. Educational as well as hilarious.
Ewwww.....
That is because they don’t learn anything useful in school. Just a bunch of progressive nonsense.
I believe there’s an untapped goldmine in defrauding Gen Zers of their trust funds.
It really is easy money.
Just go to a Gen Z checkout and complicate them with checking you out whilst making change at the same time .
I would give it an OK sign, but some mign think it stands for "women peeing".
Pimped, to give it all up.
Hoes taken.

You ought to see the stupidity the Gen Z crowd exhibits in drone discussions. They LOVE China and their military owned DJI drones that “geofence”, or restrict drone use in areas China prohibits. They say crap like, “I’m a pro and shouldn’t be geofenced, but amateurs should be geofenced!” It is always “the other guy” that should be restricted.
The Gen Z dolts think asking a nanny-state Chinese company for permission before being allowed to fly their drone (literally this is what happens) is great. No other drone makers has the geofencing. DJI drones were banned by our military and federal government for spying and being Chinese military owned.
Gen Z is not that bright and seriously gullible.
No surprise
