Safety First Timer Tips when Traveling through the Internet
air or sea, it is always mandatory to be safe at all
times. Although another kind of traveling is now
rampant and is continuously happening inside your own
home. It's journeying through the internet streets.
Unlike traveling outdoors wherein you have to go
through a lot of twists and turns and is quite
exhausting, traveling indoors by means of your
internet connection can be a breeze. Perhaps this is
the first time you would encounter this kind of
experience or if not, probably your kids or younger
siblings, whoever it is, there are certain precautions
and safety tips especially for first timers traveling
through the Internet.
Interacting with people via the Internet can be risky
and dangerous. Indeed, a lot of Internet users, even
experienced ones, get molested, abused or fooled just
by hanging out for about 15 minutes, talking to a
stranger. Others can even get robbed because they were
too honest and trustful of their identity that they
are giving it all out. If you are just new, you can
pick up some ideas on how to avoid this kind of
predicament.
The secret when dealing with strangers through the
Internet and making sure that you are safe every step
of the way is through proper communication and keen
observation. How? Pay attention:
When someone asks you things that are quite personal,
like information about your real name or address, be
alert. Never give out something as important as your
home phone number, age, name of friends, and most
especially, your family income. Not unless you know
this person by heart, never spill out anything this
valuable. You may put the lives of your family,
friends and even yourself in danger.
If a certain company or a representative from a firm
or agency tells you beautiful things on how to earn
big, big bucks in just a couple of minutes or tells
you that you can cultivate massive income in not less
than a week, such an exaggeration can put you at risk.
It can spell out catastrophe. Never give into their
sweet words, that in the end, will entice you to give
out something as important as your credit card number.
This can turn out to be a scam and wipe out everything
in your account. Before trusting anything, ask. Ask
for the person's or the company's credibility, status
and standing in the business that is being related.
Passwords are keys to another world and opens
something personal or top secret. Never give this out
nor share it even with your closest friends.
If you have met someone through online chatting, you
have to be sure of the person's identity and how far
can he or she be trusted before meeting in person.
Hope this doesn't burst your bubble but there are
syndicates roaming around the Internet waiting for
their next victim so be very careful. If in doubt, you
can ask someone to accompany you or meet somewhere
public.
Treat the person whom you are talking to with respect
even if the person's not giving it back. Never try to
send bad messages or use explicit or mean languages.
You have to be wary of strangers because not all have
bad intentions. Others can be decent and are properly
behaved. Just to be sure, always apply safety first
when traveling trough the Internet.
