– Messages are distributed on the Internet with threats and offers to participate in terrorist attacks and other illegal actions in exchange for money. “Our recommendations have already been sent to all schools in Russia,” the department reported.
Do not enter into correspondence with strangers who offer to participate in illegal activities. Do not forward the message to anyone. Block the contact immediately. Tell an adult immediately, especially those you trust (parents, teachers) or a police officer. Stay calm: Remember, in these situations it is very important to control panic and anxiety so that you can make good decisions and stay safe. If you learn of an imminent terrorist attack, notify your parents or teachers immediately. Do not try to stop the criminal yourself, this can lead to irreparable consequences. Try to avoid places and situations that could be dangerous. If you feel you are at risk, tell an adult immediately and carefully follow the instructions of adults and authorities. If a responsible adult (parent, teacher) gives instructions on what to do in the event of a terrorist threat, follow them unconditionally. This could be evacuation, seeking shelter or other safety measures.
It is important to remember: messages from provocateurs can be sent through robots, imitators of live communication.
How to protect your number: In your Messenger privacy settings, you can set a limit for receiving messages. Block calls, texts and voice messages from all unknown numbers.
