It might be an interesting survey to have an idea who's active here.

I suspect the age distribution would heavily favor the over-65 crowd and those 35 and under.
Scammers seem to think that Proz members were born yesterday.

WHY SCAMMERS THINK THAT?
HOW DO YOU GET THE STATISTICS? SUSPECT? AND GOT THE CONCLUSION?

When I proposed the topic, it's no offensive to the elderly as I'm old too.
When I started freelance, around the year of 2000(I cannot remember that clear), a Michael from Glossika had a fight with me. He threatened to blacklist me in the circle. I was young, so introvert then and the fight(the main reason) sank me into depression for nearly 15 years, no job.
I know this Michael live a better life, reaping a lot from the business dealing with the Chinese language. What I want to say,... See more When I proposed the topic, it's no offensive to the elderly as I'm old too.

It's an expression. To say someone thinks you were "born yesterday" it means, they think you are a fool - that you can get scammed because you don't know anything yet.

FWIW. When I was born, my life expectancy in my country of birth was 54 years. It is now 64. In my current country of residence, it was 75, and it is now 82. The pension age in my country of birth is 60, but in my current country of residence I'd have to work until I'm 70 before the government pension kicks in.

We're not complaining. Live and work is not a bad thing.
