This review is from: Cyberscams : A visual guide to 25 of the biggest Internet scams. (Paperback)

The Internet is a wonderful place, but there are several things people should know before they start surfing - and this book is one of them.
Everyone, sooner or later, will receive dubious emails and this book provides the knowledge needed in order to not get caught out.

As the Internet evolves thieves are becoming more cunning in what they do, if you didn't get caught last year then you may be caught next year. This book has taught me how to spot suspicious emails and what to do with them (delete them).

This is probably one of the only books that should be made compulsory reading before a person starts on the Internet.
