We've had to deal with educating my in-laws about scams as they are getting to that special age (and I think my father-in-law may be starting to go 'round the bend). Basically we've drilled into their head that anything that pops up on their computers is a scam, and to simply close it. They've gotten better, but we still find toolbars and crap on their machines when we visit, so I know they are still downloading things to some extent.Jeza posted:Pretty much if you're near to a place tourists often go, and a local comes up to talk to you for any reason, it's to scam you in some way. Sounds horrible but that's basically my experience. I'll add as a corollary: any time a person you don't personally know attempts to contact you at home, whether via e-mail, mail, phone, or simply knocking on your door, it's a scam. That has been the hardest lesson to drill into them. I fear that it will really only sink in when they finally get scammed hard by some douchebag.
