    How am i gonna get scammed if i assume they are all scams?

    Because presumably you still interact with society as opposed to going full unibomber, and so you can’t do that.

    The two that weren’t scams didn’t give you enough info to identify if they aren’t and they both just as likely to be scams?

    They were

    spoiler

    a real bank statement and a real settlement.

    It’d be weird if they weren’t something that applied to you but it’s still not a scam.

      The article and quiz talk specifically about these types of vectors for scams. If i assume they are all scams there is a zero % chance i get scanned in this way. Even on the two not a scams they talked about better alternatives to ensure their authenticity which i would have done as soon as i saw any of these “scams” its just a poorly written article that just assumes any wrong answers mean you are more likely to be scammed. I understand there is no way to 100% avoid being scams especially if you just out in the world but the answer from the article is dumb.

      Edit: also the censored info made it impossible to tell if it was real.
