Whether it be your name, credit number, or identifying number, all can be used and traced back to you. Most commonly they come in the form of an email from a "company". This company might put a link to their website in this email, which may be asking for your personal information.
How can you avoid this?
-Never click on a link in an email from an unknown person/company
-Never give your information to an unknown/untrusted website
-If the email is coming from a place like your bank, always double check and contact them]]> 2023-01-31 15:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/42724cam/beta8e0xbru3cofa/wish/2463242708 42724cam https://padlet.com/42724cam/beta8e0xbru3cofa/wish/2463243735 Catfishes and predators are similar, but have different motives. They both persuade you and make you think and believe they are someone they aren't, whether it's their looks, age, etc. Except, the difference is, predators specifically target young children. These people are dangerous because they can lure you to do something that they benefit from, or put you at risk.
How can you avoid this?
Never believe anything anybody says, no matter how much "proof" they have. Also, don't friend people you don't know in person, even if they may seem friendly.]]> 2023-01-31 15:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/42724cam/beta8e0xbru3cofa/wish/2463243735 42724cam https://padlet.com/42724cam/beta8e0xbru3cofa/wish/2463244984 Cyber-bullying is unfortunately a very frequent danger - especially for children/teenagers. Cyber-bullying is when you get bullied online - this can consist of getting threats, being made fun of, hacking, mean messages/rumours, etc. Sometimes you know the person cyber-bullying you, sometimes you don't. Usually it is anonymous. Many struggle from this, and keep quiet about it.
If you ever come in contact with a cyber-bully:
-Never respond to the messages/email
-Screenshot/save the messages/email
-Notify a trusted adult
