I worked on a retail store for a time, it was sad that a lot of old people spent a lot on money on gift cards, specially Steam and Apple gift cards because they didn’t even knew what they were purchasing, and 7/10 times when you warned them about a scam they tell you to eat shit, but it was funny because it was like: An famous singer is contacting me, just to tell me that if I give them a $100 gift card they will send me $100.000.000
And there were some more extreme cases of old people who lived alone and didn’t know much about technology, that it was like a rolplay but on real life and the currency to keep rolplaying was the gift cards.
And another thing is that the old (due to the scammers) were the most unbearable people in the world, because the scammers didn’t ask, they demanded gift cards, and they were always asking for $100 gc. If the elderly people couldn’t get them, they threatened to stop talking to them, so we had to deal with unbearable old people constantly.

I had a manager that spent a good twenty minutes explaining to this little old lady that the guy asking her to send gift cards was not Jason Momoa.
