For over ten years UGN has brought news, views, reviews, warnings and alerts about your digital safety, and the world of online safety. And, you’ve come to recognize our “Don’t Click” and “No Spam” buttons around the web. But there is still a real need to educate your members, friends, family and business community. One good way of doing this is with the “Don’t Click” button. Please show this button on your web site, and link to your favorite anti-spam site. 
Help support our efforts by getting a button and showing it off. Groups can buy the “micro” button in bulk for around a dollar, and include it in promotions and new member kits. This way you’re spreading the word to be careful online — while supporting your UGN at the same time.
You might be responsible for saving someone from becoming a cyber crime victim!
