It is very much about experience. Now that I’m an old man in my late 20’s I can tell when it’s BS, but I empathize with the fear of the less-experienced. The first time I had a personal legal experience, I was confident about what the law was, and then got blown the fuck out. The second one was someone threatening some sort of criminal action to which I responded, “have the prosecutor reach out so we can put our lawyers in touch.” My heart beat irregularly for a few weeks whenever I thought about it; first because, despite having done nothing criminal, I was scared, but second because I didn’t actually have lawyers. It turned out to be nothing. They never contacted me again. Maybe a “scam” email about CCPA would have been a better learning experience ;)
