Staying safe when meeting people online
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you are connecting with someone on the web.
New Delhi: We are today living in the 21st century, trust is just a word these days. In the virtual world, people not only date but also choose their partner.
In an era where your own best friends can betray you, people choose their life partners in virtual mode. 62 per cent of people prefer online dating.
Online dating has its own pros and cons. In virtual mode, we really don’t know whether the person we talk to is a fake person or a real person.
Most often we come across the people who are thugs and frauds and in the name of friendship or love they cheat us.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you are connecting with someone on the web:
*Don’t share your private pictures: No matter how close you get with someone, never share your nak*d pictures because there are people who can influence you through sweet talks and later on use them on other platforms.
* Verify their details: It may happen that the person you are talking with doesn’t tell you even about their true identity.
* Block and report suspicious users: We meet different people online. Some are good and others are bad, but if you feel that someone is making you uncomfortable or you don’t get the positive vibe. Just trust your instincts and block the person immediately.
