Some people have to learn the hard way. It took me a while to convince my mom that most unsolicited e-mail and half the webpages out there are scams or at least misleading.
Some get what they deserve. Another person who I had told about spybot and adaware several times (and even wrote down the URLS) had me recently "fix" their freezing PC, of course which only took the installation of spybot and adaware to remove every spyware known to man they had running on their PC. I had explained to them numerous times in the over a year they've had their PC and asking me questions to not click attatchments or to agree to install every little box that pops up. Will the several thousand dollar phone bill they just had to contest because of a dialer get my point through to them? Probably not. If they just insist on giving their money away what difference does it matter if it's an "update your info" scam, dialer or belief that you are about to get a big check from Nigeria...
