According to the Wall Street Journal, young adults are increasingly falling victim to online scams, especially on social media platforms. Experts say one major reason is FOMO. Young people are more likely to click on enticing but fraudulent links, which can make them more susceptible to phishing attacks. Scammers exploit this by creating fake shopping deals and get-rich-quick schemes, luring people into providing their personal information or money. To protect yourself, experts recommend being careful about responding to unexpected messages, avoiding links from people or companies you don’t recognize, and making sure online deals are legit before clicking or sharing personal information.
