Hey Mum, I downloaded a few social media apps to make new friends as we are new in town
That's great Tim! Just remember not everyone out there wants to be your friend. Some people out there on the internet to try to and take your money, steal your identity and many more things.
What do you mean?
There are different ways people try to do these things but as long as you keep your online privacy settings to make your profiles as private as they can be you will be fine.
Thanks mum,' i'll try be careful
EXAMPLE 1 - Never hand out sensitive information to strangers .
JACKPOT!!!!! YOU ARE A LUCKY WINNER.
Just send us your Bank details and we will transfer your winnings
who is this?
EXAMPLE 2 - Do not add strangers on social media. Change privacy settings to the highest level so that you can only send friend requests not receive them.
Tim
Mr.Annonymous
Hey , whats your address so I can come say hi
I shouldn't be telling you
EXAMPLE 3 - Be careful about the photos that are sent to friends on social media as they can be redistributed and affect your future image.
Look at this photo of Tim from the other night he sent to me! He is a crazy party animal.
