One of the problems we face as modern people is how complicated the world is and our inability to keep up. Many things seem the same, and some, are but too many have become complex. Thiis has created a divide between the techs and the others. Take banking, something most of us have had to use over the years. I know people who don't trust electronic transactions and still do everything in person, although some have been forced to use ATMs by the banks. So, some of those have been fitted with interceptor readers that act real but steal your info and money.
This is hardly the most sophisticated scam but it is aimed at those who do things in person. I know people who have almost been scammed, or maybe they were. Scammers like to prey on people's good nature and desire to help. I guarantee you that the current situation in Ukraine has given rise to many scams designed to take advantage of your desire to help.
In fact the two aspects that make us susceptible is the desire to help others and greed. The best defense i to forget about being polite or helping strangers via online solicitations. If you want to help somebody, don't click on an e-mail link, find a reputable site yourself.
