[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1836361, member: 396914"] I agree with LIAB, it's not coming late to technology, it is more a lack of understanding of how the technology works. As the tech gets more and more highly integrated and entangled, if you are not a tech expert, it's easy to fall for a scam. If you took your car to the garage and the mechanic/engineer came out and said that the left-hand frammistat is not synchronized with the filmic, you would probably nod your head like you understood him. That is human nature at all ages. Then he tell you the left-hand frammistat needs replacing and you sign on the authorization line and pay up. That is what the scammers are doing, using technical terms with nontechnical people and when they get a fish on the line, they reel it in. The seniors are slightly more susceptible to this kind of scam, but it's not unique to them. [/QUOTE]
