Scams Target Students Online | Jackson News

Young adults, raised digital natives, are surprisingly vulnerable to online scams—FBI data shows Gen Z and millennials lost over half a billion dollars last year.

With AI now crafting realistic fake voices, videos, and websites, deception has reached new heights—impersonating family, banks, or delivery services to steal money or data. Stay safe by slowing down, verifying requests, using secure payments, and never trusting caller ID. If something feels off—or too good to be true—it probably is. Vigilance, especially during back-to-school season, can protect your wallet and peace of mind. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
