Internet Predators often hide the truth about
themselves to their victims

• They usually start off wanting to know your ASL
  so that they can adjust their bio to become more
  appealing to you.

They often first visit your profile page, and
other linked pages, and collect information about
you before chatting.
They may ask for you to be included on their
buddy list - which can turn into a form of
cyber-stalking.
They usually want to call YOU in order to gain
your phone , which can help them in finding your
home address.

phone number?
