Think Twice Before You Trust a Giveaway

The internet and apps have their benefits, but they also come with hidden dangers. There's no need to be too scared, but the more things seem to be okay, the more important it is to have the ability to stop and think.

I tell them that it is important to check the conditions and the person without getting too excited about a happy story.

The more happy a story is, the more I hurry.

Words like "win for free," "only now," and "distributed to everyone" look very appealing. That's why you tend to lose your composure.

What you need to look at is the conditions and the opponent.

Just looking at who is doing it, what they are entering, and whether it costs money later will make it easier to notice something suspicious. It's safer to confirm before being happy.

What you can do today
When you see a giveaway, think about who is in it and why before you apply.

At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value being able to discern and choose rather than being afraid. Safety is not something you have to endure, but rather a power that you can use effectively over a long period of time.
