Gen-Z loses more money to scams than any other age group

Lol, n00bs

If you like 80s influenced music, they are 100% worth it. They even have Tim Cappello (the sexy sax man from Lost Boys) play on a number of songs.

I'm more of a 70s southern rock influenced mixed with pysch rock kinda guy, but I've been known to fuck with Duran Duran and Tears For Fears. In fact, Tom Petty's "you don't know how it feels," just came on and God bless it this song goes so hard.

Even though Gen Z grew up on the internet, they never had to go through the same kind of internet hardship like the millennials. Back in my days we didn't have Spotify or Pornhub. To get music or spank material we had to use Napster or Limewire. The latest Blink 182 album or that rare Jenna Jameson anal scene you downloaded could very well be a nasty computer virus. The current generation grew up trusting the internet as it's been much safer than 15, 20 years ago, so maybe that's why they are falling for more scams

And the prevalence of online based remote jobs, I am thinking Gen Zs are getting scammed by online work recruiters and with the ever more challenging economic landscape, inflation, cost of comute (Fuel hikes) more and more people are desperate to find better jobs even if it is just offered online.

And usually the target victims are fresh meat fresh grad Gen -z. Poor babies!

well, here is my overall favorite song by them. John Carpenter even worked on this one too. It’s also a good intro song to them.

Pretty surprising because the younger generations have always been at ease with technology, not easily conned or fooled. At least that was true for gen X and millennials. I guess I didn't take in account that younger generations could devolve. They do seem devolved, don't they? Like little zombies hypnotically scrolling on their phones all day.

Gen-Z fall for scams more than any other age group. You'd think they'd be more savvy to these things as they practically grew up on the internet

They even do worse than boomers, who barely even know how to use a computer

To be fair, this likely only because Boomers haven't realised they are being scammed yet, and are still too busy saving the cash for "Natalia's" plane ticket, to report anything.

Gen Z don't know how to use computers. They know how to use apps.

LMAO...

I remember downloading LOTR just to find out it was a porn movie camouflaged.

Old school internet was definitely something.

 

[Morning Star]

Just look how many of those dumbasses give money to Logan Paul or any other idiot influencer that had crypto scams. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

 

[blaseblase]

Boomers aren't perpetually on the internet, less interested in crypto, which a lot of the modern scams are coming from.

Of course, zoomers are fucking retarded.

...apparently they have never heard the term "If it seems too good to be true, it is".

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Makes sense. Previous generations were bombarded with TV commercials selling them shit they didn't need, which is tough to accurately put a dollar value on. Gen-Z has their feed hijacked with course scams and crypto fuckery. Easier to track the losses. Also, I doubt they considered things like the marriage and divorce pipeline and all the scummy/scammy parasites that eagerly wait at the end to fuck over both sides irrespective of anyone's mental health. Door dash is also a scam ("suggested" tip that 100% goes to the driver my fucking ass you marxist, pay the driver). We are all getting scammed in some way that can't accurately be tracked.

That said, fuck them Tik Tok'ers and tell them to stay off my lawn god damnit! Bunch of softies if you ask me.

The other night I had CNBC on while going to sleep and they had this young hotshot trying his best to talk up crypto and even mentioning one guy lost his life savings and was gonna jump off the building and the host was calling it a ponzi scheme and citing no inherent value.

 

[Legumes]

There are no more internet holdouts bruh.

That time has come and gone.

Pretty much everyone is at the very least using email and a smart phone.

Do you not have any older relatives, neighbors, co-workers, etc.? There are plenty out there at 60+ that still don't use the internet at all. They're not likely to have smart phones either. I have a few in my family that have never used the internet at all and are using old school type flip phones(at least, the modern version of those. Most carriers have phased out the actual older ones due to network requirements.).

Well, shoe size iq. Also, modern women among gen z "think" (and i say think loosely) OF is a money tree.

No fan of scams but stupidity should be severely punished.

Tried to buy mescaline over the internet and got scammed. Although I have bought drugs over the internet many times before that was one of two i got scammed in.
For some weird reason i got sent a San pedro cactus in the mail a year later. Makes no sense because im 100% sure that guy selling mescaline scammed me because he tried to say customs got the order and i had to send $100 more to get it released.

But then maybe he sent me a cactus a year later? It just doesn’t make any sense.
I don’t even know what to do with the cactus and I’m sure as hell not growing it. I might try to make tea with it but wtff
