Even with technology, it seems that age may
bring wisdom after all. A recent study suggests that old folks aren't falling for tech support scams all that often — but their grandchildren are. Millennials, far from the inherently tech-savvy caricatures as portrayed by the media, are actually somewhat gullible when it comes to calls, e-mails or popup ads claiming to offer tech support, but delivering only scams.
The information comes from a joint study between Ipsos Public Affairs, which is a technological survey-based research group, and Microsoft. Ipsos surveyed 1,000 adults from 12 countries about their experiences with tech-support scams, especially those claiming to be representing Microsoft. https://www.livescience.com/56551-millennials-tech-scams.html
