Right now, everyone is online. As a society we are bored. Crooks might be using social isolation as an opportunity. I hope you find these Tips helpful.

Instagram – keep your profile settings secure. And don’t respond to any unsolicited messages. Be cautious when clicking links; hover your mouse over shortened URLs to confirm the real destination.

Word With Friends – It is best to play against people who you’ve met in real life whom you already know. If you do play with strangers, do not disclose any financial or personal information.

NextDoor – Don’t assume you can trust an online stranger, even one who claims a local connection. Use neighborhood apps to keep up with news and events not as a marketplace.

Facebook – Do not accept friend requests from people who are already your friends or from people who you do not personally know. Only accept friend requests from those whom you have met in real life. And keep your friends list private. Set it so only you can view it. Also stay strong when it comes to taking Facebook quizzes and NameTests; could put you at risk for identity fraud as answers to your security questions.
