How To Protect Yourself on Facebook (and other Social Media) – 9

When we got on the Internet, (that is Jamaica) it was 1995. The Internet became commercially available in 1990.

During the time we couldn’t get on, (legally) we learned a lot about hacking, cracking, privacy, and how to protect ourselves.

We used Nicknames and created email addresses in other  nicknames.  We never used our real image, we used something taken from the ‘Net.

If we joined a dating site, we created a new email account or a new user on our computers to keep it separate.

Those we knew in Real Life were in one batch, those we met online were in another.  For just as we created false personas, other people can and would.

As we were more fey with the Internet than most people, we’d find the infamous scammers and scam them.

We knew how to capture I.P. Addresses, so knew who was using a proxy server, for many were sloppy. They’d claim to be in New York City but were using a proxy from Germany.

As we knew how to scam, we saw those who were scamming, or trying to.
