Thanks Sheila, this is a really helpful post. I keep getting spammers here who start asking uncomfortable questions right away. I think ending the chat is the first step, and if they get too out of hand, banning/reporting them may help. Thankfully, here we can all keep our identities under wraps and the best thing is there is no provision for sending pics or other attachments. I do find this place safe :) But having said that, it is up to us to ensure our safety. When we're communicating online, it is better to be on our guard always.
