- Protect your personal information: never share your full name, address, phone number, school, workplace, financial details, or private photos with people you meet online. Tighten privacy settings on social apps so strangers can’t see your profile or posts.
- Be skeptical and limit contact with strangers: don’t trust someone just because they seem friendly — verify identities, avoid private one-on-one chats or video/meetups with strangers, and never send money or intimate images. If something feels off, stop communicating.
- Lock down your accounts and report/block threats: use strong, unique passwords and two‑factor authentication, keep devices and apps updated, and immediately block and report anyone who behaves suspiciously. Save evidence (screenshots/messages) and tell a trusted person or, if you’re threatened, contact local authorities.
If you’re a young person, tell a parent, teacher, or another trusted adult right away. If you’re in immediate danger, call emergency services.
