Never lose physical control of you cellular phone.
Remember that you have contact to your parents, family members, friends, etc. in it! When your are protecting your cellular phone against all threats, you are protecting not just yourself, but also everybody around you.
Don not reply to messages send by somebody you don´t know.
You don´t know who and why is sending them.
Be careful of any offers – information of winning in competition, special promotions, etc.
Of course, news of winning in competition is always good news! But make you careless could be one of attackers target!
Give your personal information just to people you know and you trust.
Do not react to appeal of participation somewhere where you need to reveal your personal and/or private information!
Meeting with stranger could be dangerous.
Do not react to offer of meeting with somebody you don´t know personally. And if such meeting is unavoidable, adopt some “security measures”. Arrange the meeting at the public place, never be alone and say about it in advance to adults.
Think BEFORE your send something, not AFTER.
Also think if is good idea to send any data, photos, information… Always ask person whose photo are for taking of agreement.
Watch carefully your phone bill and expenses.
Every phone call or sending of SMS memo is financial transaction. Be interested how much what act cost and if your phone bill is equal to your actions.
Always say to somebody when something strange or irregular happen.
He will help you from point of unprejudiced observer – or he will just listen to you. It often helps.
If the parents are asking you, answering them right.
The worst thing that could happen to you is loss of mutual trust.
