DON'T BE THE VICTIM! FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ONLINE SCAMS

From Cyprus Police

Online social media fraud

Scammers target potential victims through dating websites, but they can also use social media or emails

to contact their potential victims.

What are the readings?

- Their messages are often poorly worded and vague.

- Their online profile is inconsistent with what they tell you.

- Someone you've met recently online, first and foremost, is gaining your trust. He states that he has

strong feelings for you, asking you to contact you in private.

- They then ask you for money, gifts or details of your bank account or credit card. If you don't send the

money, they may try to blackmail you. If you send them, they'll ask you for more.

What can you do?

- Be very careful with the personal information you share on social media and dating websites.

- Always take risks into account. Scammers are present on the most trusted websites.

- Don't be in a hurry to answer and ask questions.

- Search the photo and profile of the person who has approached you to see if it has been used elsewhere.

- Be especially careful about orthographic errors and grammar and syntax errors, inconsistencies in their

stories, and excuses, such as the fact that their camera is off.

- Do not share any material that could be used to blackmail you.

- If you agree to meet in person in person, let your family and friends know your destination.

- Pay huge attention to money transfer requests. Never send money, do not provide details of your

credit card, bank account, e-banking codes or copies of your personal documents.

- Avoid sending cash advances.

- Don't transfer money for someone else: money laundering is a criminal offence.

Are you a victim?

- Don't feel ashamed!

- Stop all forms of communication.

- If possible, keep all communication history, such as conversation messages.

- File a complaint with the police.

Report the incident to the website where your fraudster first approached you. If you have provided

details of your bank account, contact the bank you are working with.

Up in the Air: Barcelona to Tel Aviv

ISRAEL-CATALONIA CONNECTION: Spanish Catalan surrealist painter Salvador Dali created the Candelabra of Peace, pictured above, which is displayed at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International Airport.

July 27, 2011 -- After traveling around Europe on high-speed trains for two weeks, my next destination was Israel. I flew from Barcelona El Prat Airport to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport on Spanair. The flight across the Mediterranean Sea takes around four hours.

The two airports have a lot in common. They have both undergone renovations and expansions -- Barcelona added Terminal 1 in 2009 and Tel Aviv added Terminal 3 in 2004. Both airports are also accessible via commuter rail, although the train at El Prat only stops at Terminal 2 so you need to take a connecting bus to get to T1. It is about a ten minute ride from the T2 train station to T1 on the connecting bus.

Renowned postmodernist architect Ricardo Bofill designed the new terminal at El Prat and it is impressive. The layout brings in the natural light from a region blessed with lots of sunshine. And everything feels very open and expansive so passengers never feel claustrophobic or constricted, even while waiting at the check-in stand or security line.

Here are passengers at Sants railway station waiting to board the Rodalies commuter train bound for Barcelona El Prat Airport. Rodalies is the commuter rail service that serves Barcelona, and its metropolitan area as well as other parts of the province.

One big difference between El Prat and Ben Gurion is the level of security. It took less than five minutes to pass through the security checkpoint at El Prat with no tension or feeling of suspicion. Ben Gurion on the other hand is the most secure commercial airport in the world. With enemies of the Jewish State all around, the Jewish State's only international airport has no alternative but to be the safest place to fly to on the planet. That's why it can take a long time to get through Ben Gurion Border Control and it can take even longer to exit Israel. They don't take chances. It can be a maddening experience for a Jewish American like myself or any visitor to The Holy Land for that matter. Who wants to be looked at with suspicion? Who wants to be singled out? Who wants to feel uncomfortable or make other people feel uncomfortable because they were born with darker features? It is not fun at all. But it is a necessary evil that millions of innocent people have to go through humiliating security procedures because of the very real security threat of a handful of medieval-minded Muslim fanatics.

Before going through passport control, international travelers walk through the concourse at new Terminal 3. Visitors are greeted by Jerusalem stone on the walls and biblical mosaics. It is an impressive entrance to Israel.

And after sitting for twenty minutes and then being asked questions by the border control security (something I've gotten used to when traveling abroad alone) and getting my passport stamped, I was officially in Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel!

Israel Railways operates the Ben Gurion Airport Railway Station, located in the lower level of Terminal 3. The commuter train station is easy to get to from the other terminals and zips you from Ben Gurion to central Tel Aviv, Haifa or Modi'in. Here is the train at Tel Aviv Savidor Central Railway Station.

Since it was late at night and the buses stopped running (Tel Aviv does not have a subway system) I hopped in a Sherut (shared taxi in Hebrew) for the fifty shekel ride to the Florentine district where my hostel was located. The taxi ride was a real adventure, but that is a story for my next blog post on Tel Aviv.

Here are more photos of the trip from Barcelona to Tel Aviv. Click here to see the set on Flickr.
