🌐 Online Safety Reminder for Our Community

Just a quick reminder to stay alert when you’re online. A few simple steps can help keep you and your family safe:

🔒 Protect your personal information

Avoid sharing details like your address, phone number, or bank info in messages or on public profiles

📩 Be cautious with unexpected messages

If you receive a message asking for money, codes, or personal details — even if it looks like it’s from someone you know — double‑check before responding

🔗 Don’t click unknown links

Scammers often use links that look genuine. If in doubt, don’t open it

👤 Check who you’re talking to

Fake accounts can look convincing. If something feels off, trust your instincts

🛡️ Keep devices secure

Update your apps and software regularly

Use strong, unique passwords

Enable two‑factor authentication where possible

📣 Report anything suspicious

If you come across a scam or suspicious activity, report it to the platform and let others in the community know so we can all stay safe.
