Are your parents prone to fake news/online scams?



I've literally had to talk mine out of Nigerian Prince scams

They believe every single article on the internet. They're 75.

My dad never was.
He once got a letter saying he'd won a shit ton of cash. All he had tondo was send them 150 processing fee and they'd send the cash to him.
He wrote back telling them to deduct the 150 from the winnings and send the remainder.

He never did get the money. Weird.

My dad. My mom was around more and taught me not to blindly follow what people say. She has conversations with me where we both just talk and neither tries to just make the other feel wrong.

No. Both are pretty progressive for 60 and 58 years old. Mom's skeptical of every news source, and dad's head of IT, so the media and tech awareness seem to mesh together, I guess.
