The next day Webster was sure it would come. Instead he got a birdcage held together with gum.

"I can't believe this. It's getting totally lame."

On Thursday he got a busted record player. And Friday brought him an old refrigerator.

On Saturday he cried, “That’s it! That’s enough! I’m sick of getting this ridiculous stuff. This pile of junk can reach the North Pole. It’s totally getting out of control!”

So he waited by the window with great anticipation.

"Delivery for Webster," Clicky called in frustration.

With a grumble, he threw the boot on the pile of trash, then it wobbled and bobbled and came down with a crash. 19

Clicky threw up his hands and said, "I've had enough! Webster, please explain where you got all this stuff."

"I don't know," he replied. "I'm just really upset. All I did was order a game from the Internet." 20

"I saw it on a pop-up and gave them my name. I typed in my address and waited for my game."

"What happened, Webster?" Clicky asked in concern.

"Did you forget the online rules that you learned?"

Clicky nodded. "It looks like you got caught in a scam. Giving away your information is how this nightmare began.

Before you tell anyone your name and address online, you need to ask a trusted adult if it's fine."
