I think the only way to get privacy into the thick skulls of those that don’t care is reminding them that one of the criminals can legally buy all that data in order to attempt scams or crimes against them. A very common scam in Brazil is the “cousin, my car broke and my phone died out, I need to pay the mechanic, can you do it for me?”
Nobody cares. Fraud is low. It doesn’t affect people day to day. I think it’s the other way around. Privacy experts need to stop screaming over this shit that doesn’t actually affect most people. Your example doesn’t even really use data, it just tricks them.

where is your data?
The ftc reported 10B in fraud. Let’s assume it’s under reported and it’s 50B. That means .2% of the 26T USD economic output is fraudulent.
