- Don’t believe everything you read when chatting online. People very often misrepresent themselves.
- Never give out personal information on line to strangers (home phone number / address / credit card numbers)
- Never rush to meet someone to meet someone you met on line. Quick dates can be dangerous. If you are being pressured to meet you should become suspicious!
- Talk on the phone before you meet. Play it safe. You make the call. Feel the other person out before getting together.
- Tell your parents or friends about your plans. If the other person wants to keep it a secret be suspicious.
- Meet in a public place whenever possible. Avoid going to the person’s home until you know each other.
- Tell someone where you are going. Let them know if there is a change in plans or you will be getting back late.
- Always report attacks or threats to the police or to the Public Safety Department (772-4444).
- Consider bringing a friend. Remember, you really don’t know the other person that you are meeting.
- Always – BE CAREFUL!
