When you meet someone online you never know whether this is a real person or a fake, or even someone who wants to hurt you. If we plan to meet him o her. it's advisable to go with someone else and to tell your friends.

One of the possible dangers is meeting someone with criminal background. So, first we have to be sure that the person we meet has got real identity, not false one.

People on the Internet can be dangerous.
Some people on the Internet have a bad intention.
Young people do not bother to post pictures of them on the Internet and leave personal data available to others, making it easier for unknown people to collect data from you.
