| How to avoid being cyberstalker
| by Michael Lalonde of wanderer tax solutions
|
|
| Always select a gender-neutral username for your e-mail address or for chat, etc. DON'T
pick something cute, such as misskitty@aol.com or use your first name if it is obviously
female. Since the majority of online victims are female, this is what harassers look for.
Also, be cautious of using your first and last name as your user name. If you are listed
in the phone book, having a user name such as firstname.lastname@hotmail.commakes you an
easy target.
|
|
| Keep your primary e-mail address private.Use your primary e-mail address ONLY for people
you know and trust. Get a free email account through some place like Hotmail, Juno or
Yahoo! and use that for all your other on-line activity. Make sure you select a
gender-neutral username that is nothing like anything you've had before.
|
|
|
| DON'T fill out profiles! When you sign up for your e-mail account, whether it's through
your ISP (Internet safety providersuch as AOL or Compuserve) or a free one (such as
Yahoo!), fill out as little information about yourself as possible. You do NOT need to
fill out everything they ask for. When you hit the submit button, you will be told what
informationis absolutely necessary to get your account opened. The same goes for profiles
in IM (Instant Messenger) programs such as ICQ or AOLs IM and chat rooms. Never, ever fill
out your profiles, unless you want the whole world to know everything about you.
|
|
|
| DO block or ignore unwanted users. Whether you are in a chat room or using IM, you
should always check out what options/preferences are available to you and take advantage
of the "Blockall users except those on my buddy list" or add unwanted usernames to an
Ignore list in chat. If anyone bothers you and won't go away, put them on block or ignore!
|
|
|
| DON'T defend yourself.Yes, this is the most common reaction when someone begins to
bother you online.Most people naturally want to defend themselves, but a reaction from you
is just what the harasser wants. He or she is "fishing" for someone to latch onto and
harass. When you reply to them, whether in a chat room, via IM, e-mail, in newsgroups,
message boards or anywhere else online, you're letting them know you're upset. That's
exactly what they want - bait and you've become it. No matter how hard it is to do, ignore
these people. When they realize they can't bother you, they'll go on to the next chat
room, newsgroup, etc and try to find another "fish."
