If you don't understand computers and emails enough to protect yourself then IMHO you shouldn't be using them. You wouldn't drive a car if you didn't know what to do or try juggling knives so why do people who all want to do Banking/ecommerce etc think they shouldn't at least know about the tool they are using

That’s a bit harsh. Oh! I forgot! You seem to consider that if someone doesn’t know something they must be an idiot.

The general public needs reminding of Internet scams because each day a newcomer to the scene logs on and they are probably green. Just like a granddaughter who only recently joined us in cyber space. In spite of hearing horror stories she hadn’t a clue what to look out for. I set her right about computer security and the do’s and dont’s of passwords and email scams.
