Crime experts give this important advice
According to crime experts, cases of cyber crime have increased in this digital age. The way to stay safe from this is to be aware and avoid sharing your information with any stranger. According to experts, if a scam happens to children then it is the responsibility of the parents to make their children aware. Because swindlers sometimes target children in different ways and try to extort money by blackmailing them.
