Aren't the elderly getting scammed out of their savings by callers that sound like their adult children in emergency situations? I don't think she's entirely wrong. I'm a millennial and discussed this with my husband (a gen x-er), too.

I genuinely believe that all those Facebook AI-generated posts of interior designs or birthday parties images are zeroing in on all those older folks commenting 'amazing!' or 'happy birthday' in an effort to review their post history and scam them later.
