As in the non-cyber world, there are those few in cyberspace who are not what
they appear to be, who want to wreak havoc, are criminals or want to be, and
who do not care a whit about you or your personal security or happiness.
And they usually try to hide their intentions with a friendly facade. It is
easy to be fooled.
We want you to be safe and secure. Please do not loan or
give money or valuables to online friends, or participate in *any* scheme
involving money.
Please do not arrange a private non-cyber meeting with anyone.
If however you decide to do so, meet in a public place and bring along a
friend. Never meet alone until you've verified the person's identity and given
it to a trusted friend. There is great danger here.
The links below will yield more common sense 'rules' to help keep you safe from
