Britain: According to a survey, people over the age of 55 are less careful about scams.
It is said that 86% of people aged 55 and over always check whether they have locked their house before leaving. Over 70% makes sure that they are not given the wrong changed in shops.
On the other hand, one in five people think that they have been a target of scams in the last 12 months, mostly by email.
One in four have even admitted of not checking online bank accounts for unused payments, and a third have given personal details over the phone.
Banks are offering advice in branches to warn customers of new and elaborate scams that they have identified.
