<p>Great article, thanks! I thought of something else. Be sure to always log out of Etsy or any account if your on a computer in a public place, like work, or a cafe or library. I know I don't log out often at home, so I might for get if it was me. :)</p>

<p>"Specific Location Information: Avoid posting information that would make it easy for a stranger to find where you live or work. "
"Strangers" can get your address without you posting it. All they have to do is buy an item from you. Since Etsy's primary function is buying and selling merchandise, people do have to give out their address, so it may be useful to use a P.O. Box instead of home or work address.
"If you don’t recognize the sender of a downloadable document or file, delete the file without opening it to avoid getting a virus."
You shouldn't open an unexpected file attachment even if you *do* recognize the sender. Most virus programs will hijack an infected computer's email program and send the file to everyone in that person's address book. The "sender" may be your best friend's address but if you don't know what the attachment is, you should ask them before opening it.</p>

<p>important info, but you scared me because i received kind of a weird convo just last week from someone who "lived near me" and wanted to "get his hands on my things"! creepy.</p>

<p>This is great advice to all even those not on the net. One can never be too careful where strangers are concerned. Net Safety is the first thing my children learned before being allowed on the computer.. and this is also true for adults just learning as well.</p>

<p>I have liked what you have disclosed to your readers. I have just read a book published by Eloquent Books called ' Scammers Among Us Beware'. It is a self help guide of compiled data from US agencies, Canada, the UK, and Interpol regarding various scams, scam protection, shopping online, chat rooms, art paintings and their protection as told by Interpol. There are many other important information facts with web pages and cite pages along with the writer's personal testimony of his involvement with some scam shysters. Please view Amazon.com, BN.com and www.eloquentbooks.com/ScammersAmongUsBeware.html. Thank you.</p>

<p>I wrote in February (4 above) and I've learned a lot since
then. The article was scarry/creepy and I just can't fathom people like that. So I know this article (is great)
and very necessary. I'm thinking about Facebook and the like. I don't think I want to be on there anymore.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reminders - it's awfully easy to become complacent...</p>
Another thing2009-08-05T14:49:30-05:00RomanceCatsAndWhimsyhttp://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/internet-safety-dont-get-caught-in-the-web-1667/#comment-140917<p>From article:

<p>Another thing to be careful with is money orders. They can actually be from the post office and still be fraudulent. The scammer can either be a former employee or know someone at the post office in order to get the money order. So even if you call the USPS money order verification system - the money order will be in their system. The post office advises that it's not a guarantee and can still be a fake. Take ALL money orders directly to the post office and have an EXPERIENCED postal worker confirm whether or not the money order is legitimate. If they just hold the money order up to the light to see the Ben Franklin watermark - this is not enough because fake mo's will have this as well. But what they don't have is all of the official information completed that can only be done at the post office itself. Let the post office decide and cash your money orders there.</p>
