RE: Scams scams everywhere
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
A friend was messaging dodgy links on FB, so it looks like he got scammed. He does know. Some of the phishing emails need a second look. There are so many people on the big platforms that the scammers have a good chance of getting someone to click. Gmail has good filtering. I have a personal domain where I need to be more careful as my address has obviously leaked from various places. I just worry that the average non-techie is not going to be as careful.

That's who the main target is, the average non-techie. They click, they don't even bother. I watched this behaviour with my mum, who just clicks anything that gets sent to her regardless.
Maybe such people need to stay on FB who might try to protect them. Most people have no idea of security. I tell them to use a password manager and 2-factor, but many won't.
