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.

Yep, way too high a ratio to be reasonably believable.

Too often times, we hear about our elderly being scammed either over the phone or via the internet.

Sad, really!
