As many of my younger friends would say, I’m an “Unc” — I remember when scams looked very different.
My Yahoo inbox used to be flooded with emails from so-called “international dignitaries” promising huge payouts if I just sent a small fee first. I’d pick up the landline and hear someone asking for my credit card details. It was obvious enough to ignore — but I’ve seen older family members fall for those exact tricks.
