  Be careful on the web!
Updated 15 July 2003, 15.23

'Jenny' tells us about an experience she and her friend had on the internet.

Their names have been changed

"One of my friends went on a chat room and started talking to a boy.

He said that he was 15 with blonde hair and blue eyes. They started sending e-mails every day.

First I was fine about this, because I thought they were mates. But then she started showing off that she had a boyfriend.

I asked who, and she said he was called Jake, and was the person from the chat room.


I asked if he had sent her a picture of himself.

She showed me a picture, and I realised that the boy was a model in the magazine I was reading.

When I looked at it closely, I could see where "Jake" had cut out the pic.

The next day my friend came in. She was really scared because "Jake" had asked her to meet him.

30 year old man

At first I wasn't going to let her, but in the end but I went with her.

When we got to the meeting place, we saw a 30 year old man. Obviously we decided not to meet him.

So, before any one goes on a chat room, think before you ask to meet someone."
