There's probably a large amount of seniors who "think" they know better - they once understood computers (perhaps worked in technology) but no longer. My father (75) falls into this demographic. He got conned TWICE (luckily the bank stepped in and refunded - not huge amounts thankfully), although the second time was malware (fake AV).

Perhaps it's a pride thing, but despite my warnings/offers to help avoid such situations, he didn't pick up the phone and double-check with me.

Needless to say he's under strict instructions from my mother to run things by me first now ha ha
