Be careful if you are communicating with somebody whose information is impossible to verify!
Of course, for void chatting you don´t need any details about your partner. But if you start to solve private or family matters, be very careful WHAT and WHOM your are talking of.
Be careful to “chatting about nothing”!
Void chatting could establish trust between two parties – but without any solid fundamental. And you will consider your partner as trustworthy. Find very tiny line between void chatting and confidental relation. Find this border – and never cross it!
Mind balance of information!
If somebody wants from you more information that he is ready to tell (“it is not important”, “it is not interesting”, “it is boring”…), be careful. He is probably not interested in your problems, but is trying to get information from you.
Be careful of effort of influence!
Somebody gives you commands or recommendations – visit such www page, do something, use this service/software… Remember that free internet means free choice and free manners!
Be careful of filling forms!
Remember that from forms somebody could read more than was written – and more than you are willing to disclose. Remember also that if something is “free of charge”, it is completly free of charge and without any additional conditions. Filling of forms with personal data is additional condition! And you are using your personal data as a means of payment. Personal information is very valuable asset!
Be careful of frauds!
On the internet is more and more people who want to use it for personal enrichment (but not in the borders of law) Be aware of such people and their methods! For example: somebody is saying that he is friend of your parents, brother, sister, school-friend… And that he need any help. Always validate this information! You could hurt not just yourself, but also people around you.
Be critique to information – most of statements could be simply validated.
