How to spot a Chameleon online

Not everyone is who they say they are online… and it can be really tricky to tell if someone is who they say they are or pretending to be someone else.

Here are some of the signs to watch out for.

Someone you don’t know is being a bit too friendly very quickly  

Someone is asking you to share personal information  

Someone is asking you to meet offline  

Someone is being friendly at first, but then turns around and is mean  

If you are ever uncomfortable, you can always leave the conversation and talk to a trusted grown-up, and they can help you.
