You want them to enjoy the Internet and avoid any problems using it. The Internet is a place where you can find fun and interesting information, but it can also be dangerous. Tell them to ask you when in doubt. Friends are those people they meet at the school, at the park and when they are with their family. In the same way they wouldn’t trust a stranger they met on the street, they should be equally cautious on the Internet. If somebody asks them where they live, their phone number or wants them to send them their photos, or turn on their webcam or meet them… They must always say no and tell you about it. They must never accept messages from unknown senders and even from friends if they have not requested them first. Just opening those messages can trigger viruses that damage computers and try to steal information from them. Don’t insult, disturb or threaten anybody. There is always a way to know who posted a comment or photos on the Internet and they can be identified. These actions constitute a crime and won’t go unpunished even if performed from their computer at home. If someone insults, disturbs or threatens them, they should immediately report it to you so that that person is prevented from doing it again to them or anybody else. If, when searching for something on the Internet they come across inappropriate content they should let you know. They should not be ashamed or scared as it can happen to anybody. They should not believe that everything they see on the Internet or -on TV- is true.

2) Used console sales. When people do naughty things with their games consoles, Microsoft hits them with the banhammer. Their expensive console is no longer able to play online, and is about as much use as a toaster. A lot of the various types of cheating means the scammer has to change parts inside the console, which of course breaks the warranty sticker in half.What do they do? They jump onto EBay, and buy a bunch of warranty stickers “for their collection”.
