A pretend character isn't really your friend, especially when he or she is trying to sell you something.
Companies often ask kids to compete in games, join clubs or fill out surveys on the Internet.
They may offer you a prize for answering questions about your name, age, favourite foods, or what your parents do for a living. Don't let companies learn about what you like and don't like. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to sell you something. You came on the Internet to play not pay. Sometimes companies create playgrounds on the Internet to trick kids into buying things.
