Don’t underestimate the daftness of Singaporeans, young or old. When it’s legit, they will argue with you and be suspicious. When it’s a scam, they will fall for it lock stock and barrel. Even our government, supposedly full of cream of our crop, regularly imported many scammers, prostitutes and foreign talent with no real talent.

On the contrary, recent studies show that younger people i.e. in the 20-39 age group, are more likely to fall victim to scams than seniors. Youngsters spend more time online; this increases their exposure to scams. Younger people trust technology more and are on the lookout for discounts on their purchases, which makes them less suspicious of emails or messages offering even "too good to be true" deals.
