People 'more likely to lie in emails'

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

Not only spammers lie in e-mails...

"In tests carried out at US universities, students were given $89 (£50) and told to split it with somebody they didn't 
know and who was unaware of the total amount of money.

Ninety-two per cent of the students who arranged the division of the money by email were found to have lied about the 
total.
Among those dividing it via handwritten note, 64 per cent were dishonest.

The report, titled Being Honest Online, found that typically, students told their correspondent that they were dividing 
the the pot equally,
but pretended that the amount of money was smaller than $89."
