Telephone Safety

Never list your address on any social media platforms.
In case of emergency, dial 911.
Don’t give any personal information out over the phone until the source is confirmed.
Never give any information to “wrong number” callers.
Always give the impression you are not alone.
When you first realize the caller is obscene or harassing, hang up the phone, block the number and report it to the police.
If all else fails, change your number.
Never send provocative pictures of yourself to anyone that you are not in a romantic relationship with.
