I think a big part is that GenZ uses the internet to socialize with people they know in realy life much more than Millenials did.
When we first got the internet, everyone was a stranger and we got used to treating them as such. Even now, I don't really take anything online seriously unless I can verify it some other way, and I assume that anyone with my personal info has mined it, rather than actually knowing me.
But GenZ (and Boomers, too) use the internet to talk to their real world friends over facebool or instagram, so they have the idea that people they "meet" online are legitimate and not some dude in a call center in India.
Or it could just be that they both use Meta products and that's where the scams are coming from...
