Bad article that makes it difficult to find the study they're citing.
However. It would not surprise me if true. I'm sorry but so many of you GenZ are the most gullible people I've even seen.
Maybe we millenials are good at not being scammed because we grew up during the infancy of the internet. Our mistakes were not punished as severely. There was no widespread PayPal, cashapp, venmo or stuff like that. At worst we'd lose items in WoW that wouldnt matter in 6 months anyway because the new expanaion would come. These days a kid will lose his knife in CSGO somehow valued at $600.
Still makes me sad to see that MLM scams are thriving within all generations. Just heartbreaking.
