TLDR; people who constantly travel (nomad) and constantly use computers (digital). The latter usually (but not necessarily) to generate income.
But there are these categories, broadly speaking. People who ...
1. ... have a remote job that they can do from anywhere who like to travel a lot.
2. ... have (usually new) money and confuse spending that on some sort of digitally administrable business that isn't sustainable with 'entrepreneurship'. While traveling.
3. ... scam other people by selling guides for how to become one of the above. While traveling.
4. ... record themselves buying, wearing, doing stuff that makes other, equally simple-minded people jealous. While traveling.
If they amass enough of aforementioned simpletons looking at their media, they may manage to generate an income from this.
Often people are in multiple groups.
Twenty years ago you would almost only meet digital nomads from group 1.
Nowadays they seem to be the minority.
Especially people who are rich often call themselves "digital nomads" because the following, better suited terms, sound way less cool:
affluent alien
made migrant
wealthy vagabond

Someone who begs/asks for money utilizing a fake story like becoming sick and needing money for theirs or even a loved ones medical condition/operation as a way of profiting for their own personal gain.
That man made $150K from people who donated to him through his GoFundMe that said he was sick and needed cancer treatments, and come to find out he never even had cancer! Just another example of a Digital Panhandler.
