Internet Safety Experience : 

Internet Safety Experience A while back, I was on the computer and suddenly, a message pops up. “Find out your IQ!” it said. “See how smart your are!”. I clicked on it.

Slide 3: 

It took me to a page where it told me to enter my phone number. I entered my mom’s. Then the screen told me to enter the code that was text messaged to my mom’s phone. I told my brother to get her phone. Fortunately, Dad asked what we were up to. My brother told him and my dad immediately went to me. He told me that this was a scam and that all they wanted to do was get money off of you. He said that he heard on the radio that this guy did the same thing and ended up having a 30,000 dollar bill texted to him.

Slide 4: 

I quickly x-ed out, but during the next couple months the company kept sending text messages to my mom. We ignored them, and after a while they stopped. I learned you should never, ever click on anything that pops up. I hope you did too!
