Statistically is there any evidence that there is more scamming and dangerous/illegal activity on the internet?

The best way to answer your question, is to know how many Internet scams are. And we don't know that. However there are some statistical numbers on IC3 Here is a link to a page I visit often: consumerfraudreporting.org/internet_scam... "From January 1, 2008 – December 31, 2008, the IC3 website received 275,284 complaint submissions.

This is a (33.1%) increase when compared to 2007 when 206,884 complaints were received. These filings were composed of complaints primarily related to fraudulent and non-fraudulent issues on the Internet. " "From the submissions, IC3 referred 72,940 complaints of crime to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies around the country for further consideration.

The vast majority of cases were fraudulent in nature and involved a financial loss on the part of the complainant. The total dollar loss from all referred cases of fraud was $264.6 million with a median dollar loss of $931.00 per complaint. This is up from $239.1 million in total reported losses in 2007."

So no...there is no REAL EVIDENCE! If you are interested in how Internet scams are running here is a page I made on eBay Scams. Hope this helps, Vlad.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
