Thanks Gwalk! Sadly, some folks don't even need an internet connection to get scammed or have their identities stolen. There are many mail scams like psychics, religious "prosperity" amulets, lotteries, fake "foreign child adoption" and phone scams where the caller pretends to be the IRS, Microsoft (we know that one too well, right?), credit card company or even their doctor. People have been getting scammed since the dawn of time and it probably will never stop, but self-education and awareness is important!
