WASHINGTON - A government report says money lost in Internet crimes hit a new high last year, approaching about $240 million.

The FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center say the number of Internet scams dropped slightly from previous years, but the total lost jumped by $40 million.

The report says more men than women filed complaints saying they were scammed. The average loss for men was $765 and for women, $552.

The report, issued Thursday, also says the amounts lost increased with age. Victims in their 20s lost $385 on average while people over 40 reported losing on average $750 to $760 per scam.

I can't believe that men are so damned stupid - personally I have removed any temptation by trusting my accounts to my dear friend the Nigerian Foreign Minister

I can understand it. Men are more "dreamers" than women and probably a little more gullible in certain situations too.

As for myself, I actually have a folder entitles "Nigerian Scams" in my email program! ;)

Yep I believe that! I think women use more of their brain :scram:

I don't think that's true, but right now I have to go. I met a guy online who says he has the perfect apartment for an impossible rent. After we work out the apartment situation, he wants me to open a Swiss bank account and help him save his oppressed people. Seems like a nice guy.

Unless you have met him in person I wouldn't go for it. Of course he'd want you to open up a Swiss bank account. Your not serious about helping him are you?

Dana you didnt really fall for that did you

Heh he:P I guess you can trick people online:P

yup
