Dangerous People

by Jessica

The Internet is full of dangerous people. In chat rooms, my space, e-mail, instant messaging, your always talking to someone whether you know them or not, or you think you know them. For instance, someone in a chat room can tell you that their fifteen years old and live in California, when really their fifty years old and live in Oregon. Usually .they pretend to be your friend, finding out every thing about you, like where you live, how old you are, where you go to school who your friends are and where you like to hang out, which can end up being very dangerous. Also while online shopping. If you don’t enter and close out of your information properly someone, anyone, can use it to steal your money, or identity. So while putting your personal information into the Internet be careful of online predators. Not all people are bad or hazardous, you don’t need to be paranoid or overly cautious but just remember not to give out too much personal information unless you know where it’s going and who its going to, by not doing so many people have been kidnapped and even murdered. So next time you log into a chat room be cautious of what you’re doing.
