do you believe anyone chatting with you on the net?

You don't know the people unless you started to gives information about each other, but it this not include giving some very private info like cell nos. or bank account no. It is very hard now a days to exchange that information that technology is very at his hying rate. But I know lot of people here in R.P. who fall in-love with their chat mate and tie the knots with them, They even petition them to their country. It really depends on the situation.

any information from the Internet, you should first check validation of the truth ... remember, crime can happen anywhere .. so .. beware

I think it depends on who is the opposite chat buddy. If you know that person closely, then perhaps we can easily trust that person. But if that person is just a cyber friend, i think we should try to checking that person's personal background first from some trusted sources. If we know that person's real name or email address, i think we can easily try to checking at some social networking sites to find our whether that person is really a good person or perhaps that person has bad track record. Some people, especially bad person, can easily be traced out on the internet. At least we need to know that our online friend is just an online friend so we need to make some restricted area for such friend before we treat that friend like our real friend. We should avoiding some financial talks which perhaps will harming our financial information. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
