Never...
- As an earlier post mentioned, don't ever fall for anything that sounds too good to be true. If you get an email that sounds way too good to be true, then there is a good chance that it is a scam. Usually emails like that are sent as a way to get the person to respond, so the sender will then know that the email address does exist. Confirming you're email address existence will only set you up for future emails of that nature.
- Remember that everything that you find online is not always real. So don't take everything with a grain a salt that you see on the web. Many things are made up and there is also a great amount of good information on the web. Just use common sense when determining what is real and what is not.
- When you are not going to be home, don't let it be known to everyone on the web. Things do happen, especially when you give out personal information, such as you not being home.
- Always make sure that a potential hacker or malware does not have access to personal information on you're computer. Do not allow access to vital information such as passwords, credit card information, name, address, and other things that could give an attacker a way to steal you're identity, or find out where you live.
- Lastly, always make sure to back up you're information on the computer in case something were to happen. You do not want to be left without. There is always the potential for things to happen, such as you're computer breaking or data loss due to a virus. You never know and should always stay one step ahead.
