Internet Safety

·  Are you safe online?

·  Can you know reassure who you are talking to online?

·  Getting close to a stranger online?

If you questioned yourself on the above questions, you should take a good look into Internet Safety, because sometimes despite you thinking you know who you are talking to, behind that screen could lay someone completely different beyond your awareness, scary right?

Here’s a few typical scenarios we encounter over the internet;

·        Girl meets boy online and remarks sudden interest, the boy seems a gentlemen and over a period of time, she arranges to meet the boy, when the girl is waiting to meet the boy, she meets a stranger asking for her name, before she has a chance to work it out he’s already realised and taken her somewhere for granted.

·        Boy meets girl and yet again remarks sudden interests over looks, ‘she’s’ very charming and willing to meet him, he isn’t aware that behind that screen lays someone anonymous to your knowing, and this ‘anonymous’ is only interested in taking the boy.

 

But despite us telling you what not to do online, I think its better off telling you what you SHOULD do over the internet, hopefully a few of the next tips help you to consider whether you’re getting yourself in a good position;

 

·        BE AWARE – always make sure you know who you are talking, even if they are distant friends you may not have seen for a while
