For the lot of us in our teens, twenties, thirties, we grew up photo-chopping and pranking the hell out of people and making memes, and we know that there are dirty and clean versions of credit card processing and easy ways of getting information from the right sources online.

Older generations or those that didn't grow up around the internet..this is still pretty new. It's foreign to think suspect of everything/anything electronic.

Im am old fart who grew up on manual typewriters, rotary phones, Big Wheels, Burger Chef n Jeff, Rock em Sock em robots and phonographs..........but I can still recognize a scam when I see it. True, its not totally an intelligence thing, but more a common sense thing.......which is something there seems to be a shortage of these days. Jiminy Cricket would truly be disappointed.
