How to Avoid VoIP Harassment?
Do you know that FBI had to deal with a whopping 228,407 cyber complaints in the year 2005 which also included cases of stalking and harassment? Most of the people consider programs such as Yahoo Messenger, Skype, ICQ etc as a means of effective communicationlinks but a number of those think of it as medium of inviting uncalled for harassment.

There is a chance that you might be pursued by people whom you don't know and face inappropriate messages. In case you are Skype users you can adjust their privacy settings so that you receive calls and messages only from people you know and block unwanted callers permanently. You could also disable SkypeMe mode in order to avoid unwanted calls.

Just go through these tips in order to avoid being harassed:

• Always create gender neutral online names in order to escape the eyes of the stalker.
• Avoid revealing your personal information which might enable the other person to track you.
• When in need use the block filter in your VoIP software.
• Always use your primary e-mail address for communicating only with your acquaintances.
