Do not keep in touch with people in chat rooms who may seem suspicious or who seem to be too kind , because that’s just a disguise and you may not know what you’re getting into. Never upload Pictures on sites that you don not trust, do not register and use your credit card on any website until you know it is 100% safe to do so. Ignore mails and message that seem really attractive and offer you money , prices , easy jobs and such messages , they only fool you and do nothing else.
