More and more you can shop online, bank online, and get scammed online. Phishing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing), spoofing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_spoofing), and hacking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_%28computer_security%29) are all on the rise since it is the easiest way to make money if you're a computer criminal.
One of my favorite websites, Lifehacker (http://www.lifehacker.com), featured this article on how to avoid getting scammed online. It is written in basic terms that everyone should be able to understand and is complimented with great graphics.
Please share this with friends and family and stay safe out there!
