You get this message from someone you donʼt recognize: “Hey! You seem like a fun person to hang out with. Letʼs have some fun together! Can you add me to your friends list? — Rob.” What do you do? Click all that apply
Ignore Rob. If you donʼt know him, you can just decide not to talk to him, period.
“Hi, Rob. Do I know you?” If you arenʼt sure, ask first.
Block Rob. If youʼve checked who he is and decide to block him, you wonʼt get any more messages from him. On most social media platforms, he won’t even know you blocked him
Check Robʼs profile. Be careful – fake profiles are easy to make! Check this guyʼs friends list and see whom heʼs connected to. His circle of friends can be another way to tell whether or not heʼs real – especially if you don’t know anyone he knows! If there is not much activity on his page, that’s another hint that he isn’t for real.
You get a text message on your cell phone from someone you donʼt recognize. “Hey, this is Corey! Remember me from last summer?” What do you do? Click all that apply
Block Corey. This would feel rude if you actually know her. But if youʼre sure you didnʼt meet anyone named Corey last summer or she’s sending you too many texts and oversharing about herself, it would be fine to block her.
Ignore Corey. If you donʼt know this person, you can just not respond.
“Hi, Corey. Do I know you?” This is a safe option if you arenʼt sure whether you met her and want to figure out if you did by finding out a little more. But don’t tell Corey where you were last summer!
“I donʼt remember you but we can still meet sometime.” Really not a good idea; you should never offer to meet with anyone you donʼt know.
You get a chat from someone you donʼt know. “I saw you in the hall today. U R CUTE! What is your address? I can come over 2 hang out.” What do you do? Click all that apply
Ignore. Probably a good choice.
Block this person. Donʼt hesitate if you get a bad feeling about someone.
Who are you?” Probably not. If the message sounds sketchy, it might be better not to answer – or just block them
“Is that you Lizi? U R CUTE too! I live in 240 Circle Ct.” This isnʼt a good idea, even if you think you know who it is. Never meet someone in person that you know only from online interactions
You receive this message: “Hey, I just met your friend Sam! She told me about you, would love to meet you. Whatʼs your address?” What do you do? Click all that apply
Ignore. If you donʼt know this person but you do have a friend named Sam, the best thing to do is check with Sam first before responding to this message.
Block. If you donʼt know this person and you donʼt have a friend named Sam, it’s probably best to use your settings to block this person from contacting you further.
Who are you?” Probably not a great idea. If you donʼt know the person, itʼs better not to answer, at least until youʼve heard back from Sam.
URL start with https://with a little green padlock to the left of it? (That means the connection is secure.)
True
False

Tell your parent, teacher, or other trusted adult right away. The longer you wait, the worse things could get.
Change your passwords for online accounts.
If you do get tricked by a scam, let your friends and people in your contacts know right away, because they could be targeted next.
Use settings to report the message as spam, if possible.
