Step 1 of 4

If something feels wrong, tell a grown-up.

Clicking is risky because a link can open a trick page.
Fake messages that try to get your private facts are called phishing. A pop-up is a box that suddenly opens on your screen. Pop-ups that promise prizes or warn of viruses can be tricks too. A virus is a harmful program. You do not need to be sure it is fake.
Watch out!
Already clicked or replied? Still tell a grown-up. It is not too late.
Choose your steps. Order matters.
