• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Two-thirds of Web surfers fall prey to online crime

More than 7,000 adults in 14 countries where interviewed for the study

now .. is that 7,000 per country ... or 7,000 in total?? if in total that isnt exactly a big enough figure to say "two-thirds of web surfers" .. more like "two-thirds of the people we got a survey site to ask for us"

I would say the figure is more like 7000 per county!! It amazes me the stories I hear of how people are so gullible. And that's only the ones who talk about it.
 
Too often times, we hear about our elderly being scammed either over the phone or via the internet.

Sad, really!
