“Trust is a valuable commodity online. Though the connective power of the Internet has made our world smaller, believing in what you can’t see is risky business. That gal, or guy, you meet in World of Warcraft could actually be a guy, or gal, who regularly falls asleep covered in Cheetos debris. The sweet Groupon deal you found for a beer and bacon tasting class could just be a bullshit scam. And that charming eccentric who remotely entices you with a mysterious Craigslist ad could really be a charming sociopath, but how could you possibly know that? All you see is the charm. You don’t see the danger until it’s too late.” (Via Paste Magazine.)
