Therefore, revealing some personal information to cyberpal(s) could result in a potentially threatening situation.
10.2.3. There have been reported cases of paedophiles using online and bulletin board services to entrap children and teenagers. The online paedophiles start off being friendly and showing concern for their well-being. After gaining their trust, the paedophiles will ask some intimate questions, such as their vital statistics, and make promises of gifts, movies and meals. Then slowly the paedophiles will suggest online sex or to meet in person. An example of a reported case is that of a 37-year-old man who tried to rape a 13-year-old girl whom he befriended in cyberspace (The Straits Times, 17 March 2007).
