Word on the street is that GenZ kids are more likely to fall for this. Swap IRS with TikTok or some shit.

What up fam? It's your boy Stovetop here with the latest tea. Get this, Dua Lipa and Amazon are teaming up to throw this lit private party on a Caribbean island, all expenses paid. But if you wanna cop those exclusive tickets, you gotta get yourself a $100 Amazon gift card, sign the back with your name and address, and mail it to PO Box 1234, Scamsville, NY. Only 200 lucky winners will get picked at random, but you can enter as many times as you want. Peace all, don't forget to likeansubscribe.

Different kind of scheme. These are cold call scams.

GenZ falls for online get rich schemes at a higher rate than boomers but also encounter them at a higher rate.

Media knows how to sell a story.
