I have been getting a ton of mail (spam) offering lots of money. I am smart enough to know these are scams, but, after listening to a group of older people discussing them I realized that a lot of older people fall for this stuff. For example winning a lottery in africa. Is there a site we can circulate so they can see this is junk mail?
Is there a site where older people can go to check out if a letter received in their email is ligitamate?
This site is good for checking new hoaxes in e-mails. But the best advice is to ignore any e-mails that you don't know the person they came from. If your bank sends you an e-mail, phone your bank instead of replying to it. Never open attachments in e-mails from people you don't know, and be careful opening attachments from those you do know. never click links in e-mails, instead copy and paste the URL into your web browser, but only if you're sure you want to visit the site.
