Be Safe on the Internet

-If you receive harassing e-mails or are the victim of cyberstalking, contact the harasser's ISP (for example: Yahoo, AOL, MSN) and report it. Then block the harasser using the filters in your e-mail system.

-If the harassment exists in a chat room or on an instant message service, go off line immediately and change your on-line identity.

--Online, never share identifying information about yourself, such as your address, phone number, or place of employment, and don't get too specific with your online dating summary or MySpace page. For instance, never mention that you live across the street from a popular restaraunt or that you work in a certain office building.
