I wanted to post the link to the site where you can view and download Disconnect search engine and browser. With Disconnect, the service promises to mask your location to access content as though you’re in a different country, their VPN servers keep you private and allow you to use blocked services, websites and applications, etc…
Please see link below and let me know if you have any questions.

Cybercrooks bilk men for 3 times as much money as women
Cybercrooks rip men off for three times as much money as they get from women, according to a new report from the City of London Police.
The report reveals who’s getting targeted, where they live, and how they’re getting conned.
Women aren’t losing as much as men, but they’re being pickpocketed like mad when they go shopping online: they’re 6 times more likely to be targeted by online shopping and auction frauds than men, which the City of London Police suggests points to them being targeted in this arena.
