DAYTON AREA
SAFETY INFORMATION
Not Just Another "Number"
With the incredible expansion of the Internet and World Wide
Web in the past few years, many online companies find themselves
competing with others for various reasons. The majority of
these companies are trying to "get ahead of the pack"
and unfortunately, this type of goal-setting can have various
consequences. One of the most noticeable consequences is when
these companies lose sight of their original purpose for being
online: to support their visitors. At Community Action Partnership
of the Greater Dayton Area, you can rest assured that we will
not forget about our visitors. Our visitors are not "just
another number to us". You are the reason we exist!
Security in our Services
When we at Community Action Partnership of the Greater Dayton
Area ask our visitors for personal information, such as
their email address, name/mailing address, etc., we are
only doing so because of very good reasons.
Your Safety Online
We at Community Action Partnership of the Greater Dayton
Area would like to see our visitors and members return to
our site for many years to come. That is why we are offering
some words of advice in this section, which will hopefully
keep you out of trouble on the Internet.
1) Never give out your name, address, social
security number, or credit card number to a non-reputable
company or individual online. No matter how good the offer
sounds, check out the background first.
2) Do not, under any circumstances, plan to
meet with an individual you met through e-mail, or chat
online. Dozens of cases have occured where an unsuspecting
individual was conned into meeting with an unscrupulous
person they met online.
3) Keep your passwords private, even from
your best friend! Your online service will never ask for
them, so neither should anyone else.
4.) Use only your member name and/or e-mail
address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give out
personal information like your name, address, or phone number.
Internet fraud and marketing schemes are costing users millions
of dollars.
5) Always delete unknown e-mail attachments
before opening them. They can contain destructive viruses.
6) Remember that nothing you write on the
Web is completely private -- including e-mail. So be careful
and think about what you type and who you tell.
With these thoughts in mind, we hope to see
you at Community Action Partnership of the Greater Dayton
Area for years to come :-)
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Community Action Partnership
of the Greater Dayton Area
