Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do::The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers.
Why include cyber bullying?
Yah, that really seems out of place with the rest of the list. How does one “fall for” cyberbullying? Where’s the scam?
Maybe being bullied into compliance?
Well, the quoted section doesn’t say falling for. It says reports victimization.
I’m also curious about what their threshold for being “victimized” by romance scams is. I’ve wasted time chatting with romance scammers (both bots and ones with real people responding to messages), but haven’t ever given them or their shady sites my CC info, would I count as a “victim”?
