    That was literally my first thought.

    Maybe boomers are more embarrassed about being scammed (or just more private in general), and so basing all this on a self-reported study seems like a bit of a shaky foundation.

    Would be great if they had some more data that wasn’t from self-reporting…

      90% of the time they’re too stupid to even realize they’ve been scammed, and yes, they’ll fall for the exact same shit twice, even three times. For a point of reference, imagine someone your age on their 4th crypto rugpull and replace that with a Nigerian prince.
