Why are scam calls getting dumber and dumber?

Dude this lady has been calling me for effing several weeks now looking for someone- not me but a person I know. I don't pick up but the damn voicemails... It went from "We know your address will come to your house/place of work" to "please call us and give us the address to your house/place of work". If you're going to come to someones house/place of work and you know where it is then why the hell would you need the person to tell you their address? Um. So not only do you want my bank account number so you can steal my money, but you want to come to my house and possibly murder me or something? No. Eff off.
This number is an obvious scam number and when you look it up online there are hundreds of complaints about the number and about the person calling harassing people and their families into giving a bank account number without even identifying who they are or what the supposed 'claim' is.

I've read about a study that says millennials fall for those scams more than anyone else, including the elderly. The scams are obviously making people money.

@NaturallyPeculiar The original document source was in the quote. [quote] In its annual 2017 Consumer Sentinel Data Book... [/quote]

None of what I'm presenting is hard to find.

Look up annual 2017 Consumer Sentinel Data Book and tell me if you can find what you quoted easily because that's way too broad and you know that.

@NaturallyPeculiar What I quoted was an article summarizing the data and its source.

I had a old man calling me a few year's ago. Is this this person. No wrong number. Is this this number nope sorry. Few minutes later he would call back. Is this this person. Dude you just call me. He would call 5 to 10 time's a day. Omg it was annoying. At one point I stop answering. He said he would go to my house. Another time he said he would fight me. Another time he call the cops on me. It was crazy

I got one claiming to be tech support saying my computer has dangerous viruses.

@1000PaperCranes My best friend's mom actually fell for that one.

I think the cliff dividing smart from stupid people is becoming larger and larger. The ones who have their shit together really have their shit together, and the ones that don't, well they just seem smaller and smaller from where you stand as the years go by.
