Most of them are pretty well common sense in this computer age (I hope). Perhaps ten years back or so, many people would get caught more often.

Only a couple of weeks ago there was a story of someone who got scammed twice by someone claiming to be Keanu Reeves. It still happens. Perhaps 20-25 years ago, in the early days of email for many, it was worse - I see old issues of Judge Judy where people who don't have bank accounts (why on earth not?) got cashed cheques, by other people, that turned out to be bogus - from Nigerian investments and, most absurdly, from the Spanish lottery. I suspect there are still people dumb, greedy and naïve enough to believe that you can win a lottery without buying a ticket.

Some of these don't quite have the answers that are what I do. For example, I do write passwords down, but in form that is not decipherable by anyone but me. Secure password managers are actually not 100% secure, and if compromised, would reveal all your passwords. Ironically, I use them for my insecure passwords. Online banking passwords are not saved anywhere! And when creating passwords, I now normally use a multi-word phrase with a mixture of upper and lowercase lettes and a few numbers and symbols thrown in. These are not easy to brute force using a dictionary attack, and are longer than most standard passwords, but have the advantage that they are relatively easy to type.

Some of these need more answers. #5 (how you create a password) - none of the answers apply to me. And for remembering passwords, I had to go with the closest response, even though it isn't entirely accurate (I don't write down the password, but I write myself "clues" that remind me of what it is. For example, an old one that I don't use anymore had the clue "calendar frog." If someone can figure it out from that, more power to them.) And #11, "You see an ad on FB and it takes you to a website" assumes that one actually clicks on FB ads in the first place; I'm sure I'm not the only one who does NOT do that.

Yeah, like how I connect to public wifi or download an app. I just don't do those things.
