Detailed explanation-1: -Adults aged between 25 and 34 years or 35 and 44 years were more likely to receive a phishing message (58% and 60% respectively) than other age groups. Those aged 35 to 44 years also had the highest proportion of respondents who replied to the message or clicked a link (4.8%).
Detailed explanation-2: -People 18-59 were nearly twice as likely as older adults to report a loss on a fake check scam in 2021, and many of these reports were also classified as job scams.
Detailed explanation-3: -Surprisingly, the networks of the anterior insula and the medial prefrontal cortex were more connected to each other. This suggests that poor sensitivity to financial risk combined with reduced detection of untrustworthiness may leave older adults vulnerable to scams.
