It's not exclusive to Boomers. Older folks have been preyed upon by scam artists forever. Some of my grandparents ran across some of this crap in their later years. Luckily when it happened, they still were mentally sharp enough to recognize it as B.S.. As P.T. Barnum famously remarked; "There's a sucker born every minute". The scam artists will just keep targeting folks 'cause they know eventually somebody will fall for it.
