Why are young people more likely to be scammed?

The reason why young people are more likely to be defrauded is mainly because young people are relatively simple-minded and do not have many vivid ideas. When something happens outside, if you don't think too much, you can easily be led by others and fall into a fraud trap set by others.

1. It is easy to trust others

I think one of the reasons why young people are easily deceived is that when they enter the society, they are not familiar with the world and it is too easy to believe what others say. And sometimes, because young people have less experience and lack experience in preventing fraud, they are naturally easily deceived. However, I still want to say that young people should be a little wary of outsiders, so that when they encounter certain things, they can see through other people's deceptions and reduce unnecessary financial losses.

2. Have the mentality of taking advantage

I remember that my friend encountered an experience of being defrauded when he was studying abroad. What happened was like this: She and her roommate were wandering in the alley, and when they passed by a hair salon, they happened to catch up on the store's promotion, and the clerk told them that they could try out perm products for free. As soon as they heard that it was free, they were invited into the store by the clerk before they could tell whether it was true or false. So, the two of them tried the free products mentioned by the clerk one after another. However, when they finished getting their hair done and were about to leave, they were stopped by people in the store and told that they needed to pay. They had a dispute with the people in the store, but the people in the store refused to admit that the perming and dyeing were free. This time it was their turn to be in trouble. Thinking about it, I really enjoyed the hairdressing service and couldn't leave, so I had to spend the few living expenses I had to settle the matter. When we talked about it later, my friend said, just think of it as a lesson learned with the money, and you can’t be cheated again in the future.

3. Kindhearted and easy to attack

Young people are more likely to be defrauded, mainly because young people are usually kind at heart. Basically, whatever happens to them outside, He doesn't think about fraud, let alone being wary of others, and he is very caring. Once, a friend told me that when she was returning to her hometown by train, she met a fellow villager on the way and felt that we could have a good conversation with him. As a result, when I was about to get off the bus, the man who claimed to be a fellow villager suddenly opened his mouth to borrow money from my friend, saying that he accidentally lost his wallet while driving. At that time, my friend hesitated for a while, wondering whether to lend him money. But after thinking about it, he didn't feel like he was lying to get money, so he lent him some money. The man was very grateful to my friend and promised to forward it to my friend in a few days. After a few days, there was no sound at all, okay? Then I thought of contacting the so-called fellow villager, but found that I couldn't get in touch at all. After coming back to his senses, my friend realized that he had been deceived, which was really unexpected.

To sum up, it is recommended that young people should be cautious outside, especially when strangers approach, they should think more, observe more, judge the authenticity more, and don't trust others' words too easily.
