When it comes to online victimization it happens to more people than we know it. Now why is it that people have these online crimes? most of the time people don't know the sign or tricks where they get sucked into being scammed and end up with the question "why me?" Personally I've never been scammed or fell for and tricks whether its my email or websites with ads that pop up. There was only one time I thought one of my emails were something I knew. The website called pch.com or as everyone knows public clearing house that gives you a chance to win small or large amounts of money. One summer day I was going through my emails and I saw what I believed to be a regular email from the clearing house but as I discover it was nothing but one of those emails you open and instantly the computer crashes. I was so upset and angry that the pch didn't send any type of warning so I thought. It just so happens they did but it look almost identical as the one that crashed my computer and infected it. The only difference was the harm email was in all caps and the pch email only had "WARNING" in all caps. I only wish I open the non harm file that was sent from the actual people that way I would of never ran into that problem.
