Do not exchange any of yours or your family’s photographs with your internet friend.
Do not fix any face to face meeting very soon. If you are very excited, consult some elder person and take someone along with you.
Never disclose your email password, ATM password, credit card number or any important detail to any person you have just met over the internet.
