Internet Safety Tips

This is a great place for both new and advanced Web users to find information on using the Internet wisely.

1. Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! Your online service will never ask for your passwords, no else should.

2. Use only your member name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like your name,
address, or phone number.

3. Do not share photos of yourself, your family, or your home with people you meet online.

4. Always delete unknown e-mail attachments without opening them. They can contain destructive viruses.

5. If a person writes something that is mean or makes you feel uncomfortable, don't respond. Just log off and report it to your online service provider.

6. Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private - including e-mail. Careful and think about what you write and who you tell.

7. Not everyone is as nice, cute, and funny as they may sound online. Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person.

8. WHEN IN DOUBT ask for help -- and LOG OFF if you're not sure! You can always go back online later.
