The end user needs to be aware of scams, phishing is a huge problem but
companties cannot bear the burden alone, end users have some ammount of
burden on themselves to not answers emails that ask for personal
information. Call up your bank and ask them about an email you get
asking for personal information - if its not a bank, call Dell, etc.
Its not hard. I've already got my mom and dad doing it as well as my
grandma, aunts, and uncles. They are not very computer literate but
they now have a little voice in the back of their head saying - Ohh...
That could be a scam...

People need to learn to run the computer not to let the computer run them.
