With each and every person rushing to join the social networking sites, you have to ensure your online safety. In any case, online predators wait all over the place, but what's the enjoyment in hiding at the back your computer without meeting people? There is none, with everything there is to do online; hiding behind the virtual brick wall no social networking site is fun. The following few tips may be of use.
Ø Set your profile to private if you are concerned about a predator. This is the best way to avoid it, but it also makes it difficult to meet new people.
Ø Never give specific information to people you do not know on social networking sites.
Ø If someone sends you a message asking your name, address or phone number, never give it out.
Ø Never use any personally identifiable information like this, because it is very dangerous.
Ø It is very dangerous to provide private information on your profile page. This means that do not give your phone number, full name or address.
Ø Never give your bank account information and credit card information. You need your personal information in order to guard the safest possible.
Ø Set your profile so you have all the messages on your page to approve. This will allow messages that are inappropriate to reject and delete any spam before it ever gets published.
Ø If someone is harassing you then report it immediately to the administrators or the staff. Never allow the harassment to go on.
Ø If someone stole your identity, inform the site immediately.
The site may ask you to send them a picture; you keep your identity and your name on a piece of paper. Once they confirm that you are who you say you are, the different profile will be removed.
