How to Tell the Difference Between an Online Predator and a Normal Person?


1)Ask yourself, is this person overly nice? Why is he/she asking me for my name age and/or gender? Anyone who is asking this should be blocked immediately, these are common signs of an online predator. NOTE: Sometimes it's ok for someone to ask for your name, but never give out your real name. Come up with a desirable first name instead and no last name, because you could be endangering a real person.


2) Online predators agree with you on basically everything. Their main goal is to gain your trust and then go in for the kill. It may be an online predator if they ask to meet you in person.

3) If the person is just saying hi and being polite, that is one thing. But if a person out of the blue says hi, a red flag or an alarm should be going off in your head immediately.

4) Some online predators may pretend to be the opposite gender. It's important to be safe and don't meet anyone in person.


Please be extremely careful, these days no one seems to be what he/she claim to be.

navy being navy

What a coincidence that you made this thread. I was coming from Lake Superior today and on the way to Minneapolis/St Paul, there was a billboard sign that read " Are you having sexual thoughts about Children?.....we can help"

Wallahi, I am not making this up. The moral decadence is evinced everywhere we turn to.

90, if i took the time to find exactly who 90 is without you giving me any of your info, wouldnt I be online predator? This is not really a matter of laughter!

i am fine with it if your a girl. a young one even better

but i am mean you are very prudent. we know this would probably never happen to you, for others, tough luck. but unless this is on tv and someone gets caught, there are people out there that do this for a living, not to earn a wage sort of job, but they are so used to it, its in their system. besides, you have to know this things are out there, and technology is making things harder to hide, and conceal.

Red Flag

Rebel,
Couple of years ago, there were two somnet male forumers: male x got a female name and lured male y until he added him to his messenger. They kept talking untill male x got the photos and info of male y. Male x came here and was exposing male y's info right and left. Now, imagine that happening to you and worse imagine that happening to a female and the poor person is hurt in the process!!!

And ofcourse there are those married men who tell females they are looking for their soul mates, when that is a total bullshit.

Laqa,

Paranoid, you think, sis protect your back and dont be so trusting to anyone whether the person is a male or a female!
