A “red flag” is an internet slang term used to describe a warning sign or indication of potential danger or a problem. It is commonly used to highlight behaviors, actions, or situations that may signal a cause for concern or suspicion.

Examples:
1. When someone you just met online asks for your personal information such as your home address or social security number, it’s a huge red flag. It’s important to prioritize your safety and avoid sharing sensitive details with strangers.
2. If a website promises unrealistic results or quick and easy money-making schemes, it’s a major red flag. It’s likely to be a scam or fraudulent activity, so it’s best to stay away and protect your personal and financial information.
