As someone that has worked on a support desk in my youth, I can assure you that this is not true. I've seen 20-year-olds open bad attachments or fall for password reset phishing. A new one is a texting scam from your manager, etc asking you to do them a favor. Scammers are pretty good at what they do (even if it seems obvious to us), that's why the US is scammed out of billions a year. The new TLD is absolutely going to get people scammed. It might not be on a nightmarish level, but it's going to happen.
