Media Awareness Cont'd

Just this weekend I heard a good story that I feel like passing on because it really shows how much we should be careful with the internet. Now just to add on I think the internet is an awesome resource, we just need to be careful when using it. This story is a true story:

My friend was looking in to buying a condo in Vegas, so he was searching on the
internet. He came across a website (which if you saw looked totally real, if you
saw it you would think it was a professional company). He looked into getting
one and he contacted "the sales office" and went on to putting $25,000.00 down
on this condo he was going to be getting, which, was in the process of being
built. Moral of the story there are no condos being built and he is now down
$25,000.00.

So in reading this story I hope that you are all aware of the consequences when using the internet. Although it is a good resource and is tremendously useful in our world and society, I think we need to always be aware of where it is coming from!
