It's Cyber Monday — the day when shoppers head to the Internet to scoop up those online bargains from retailers and other sellers. Abbe Forman, assistant professor of computer and information sciences at Temple, says there's a basic buying principle that carries from the material world into the cyber world: "The scams are out there and the bad guys are out there.
