The kids will be back to school before we know it. And on that first day, we will be taking adorable pictures before our little learners get on the bus.
But be careful of what you write and then post on social media. The Better Business Bureau says if you share too much, it can put your child in danger.
For example, sharing their favorite things could lead to someone trying to get to know them and take advantage.
The BBB also says choose a generic background for the photo. Don't show house numbers or a school sign. And watch out for phony friend requests. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers.
Think twice before you accept a friend request from someone already in your friends list. It could be an impostor trying to access your information and who you know.
The BBB also shares some back to school supply scams. Make sure you're buying from a reputable source. If you are ordering online, the website should have a lock in front of the URL, which should start with http.
Make sure to use your credit card. Those have protections.
Finally, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
