yea, I guess it's the older generation that usually fall for this as they aren't as savvy.

Nice try - scammers are definitely getting more creative these days. LinkedIn account hacks are also on the rise every single day.

For a moment, I was really stunned. They’re so aggressive, we need to be more careful when navigating the digital landscape.

absolutely the scammers are evolving fast—some users say they now use AI voice, deepfake profiles and even fake payouts to make you trust them first.
keep your guard up: always verify payments, ask for proof of funds, use escrow if possible, don’t trust overly cheap offers, and always factor risk in.

Naive and gullible people are going to fall for that unfortunately.
