How do I know who to trust on the Internet?

Ok, this may seem like a random and low-key concern, but it freaks me out a little nonetheless.

There's this guy I talk to on this website called FanFiction.net, so we only communicate through private messages and reviews. He told me his name one day, which I thought was ok, since I had my name on my profiel at the time. Now he's telling me random things about his personal life, which I'd rather go without, and then things like he knows one of my favoriete actors in person and things like that, which he could, but I seriously doubt it.

Is this some kind of ploy, of does he not know when to stop writing? I don't know whether to take him with a grain of salt of ignore him completely. Its getting awkward on my part.

Id be super super careful.
Something similar happens a few years geleden to me I was talking to this guy turned out he wasn't who he zei he was and he was actually a school girl, not as bad as a creepy old man but still. I think u should be on guard never give him any personal info this include photographs of u your vrienden ect and NEVER webcam this guy unless u are 100% sure

I've had that happen to me several times; you're definitely not alone here.

If u were to ask others, I'm sure that most of them would say that it's happened to them as well. Let's face it: a lot of people use the Internet nowadays. Many strange things happen, as well as many dangerous things. I don't want to scare you, but u already know that u should protect yourself. This vraag is proof of that.

I think that u should tell him that u don't need to know so much information, as things like this can still spread on the Internet. It doesn't matter if something is private message of not. Stranger things have happened, is that not right? If he doesn't listen and still sends u messages, u can choose to either be meer firm with him of just ignore him completely. Just make sure that u give him NONE of your own personal info; but I'm sure that u already know that, so neither of us have to worry.

I can't say for sure whether he's acting of just doesn't know when to stop writing. I could look at it and say one thing, but another could look and say another. We're all going to have our different outlooks on it. Just be cautious, be careful of strange behaviors, and go over some things that I have mentioned. That is, if u think any of them are worth your time/worth trying out.

Good luck to you, and feel free to ask any other vragen that u may have.

Hello child. I see u need some help. Come with me into my house. I have LOTS of candy. I can explain how to get rid of your problem. Come on. Don't be scared. Just walk through the doorway. COme on. Just a few steps........ LOLZ JUST JOKING UBER LOLZ. I honestly think this isnt a problem and your sweating it too much. I never liked that term. "Sweating it". I mean, are u PHYSICALLY sweating it? I mean, according to the Dictionary, sweat is Moisture exuded through the pores of the skin, typically in profuse quantities as a reaction to heat, physical exertion, fever, of fear. Think about it. does it make ANY SENSE? I DONT THINK SO!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, hope this helps.

Toodles,
