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

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Are women really smarter?

Women get ripped off on the Shopping Channel and don't have money left to get ripped of on the Internet. *Joking*

Shouldnt it say "stupid men get scammed on the net more than stupid women"? lol, sheesh.

Correct. I just... well I have no sympathy for idiots who get scammed online.

men take more risks - as simple as that, of course we get ripped off more

In a word..... No! :2 cents:

this thread is great

nothing to say!!!

Well after a few beers the money seems to fly out of my wallet

Not really surprising really, the guys are probably scammed through porn lol

more men are using the internet I guess?!

Go to any "dating" site and it doesn't take long to figure that out.

My friend's little brother joined Horny Matches (or something close to that) and thought he'd been having a running email conversation with a girl who claimed to live 10 miles from him, but wouldn't meet him. I had to break the news to him that he was probably talking to Habib from some third world shithole. Needless to say, he was not happy. :1orglaugh

I don't think it's about being smarter or dumber but more about having an extra head which, at times, does some flawed thinking of its own. :1orglaugh
