Dear Participant,

You have been invited to participate in the present research study, which examines the characteristics of cybercrime victimization. This study is being conducted by the Department of Psychology at ICPS College and University of Central Lancashire.

For the purpose of this study, you will be asked to complete three different questionnaires which are in total 60 questions, which will take about 15 minutes of your time. Your participation in this study is voluntary and if you feel any kind of distress you are free to withdraw your participation at any time. Also, your answers are going to be anonymous and confidential. A factor that contributes to the anonymity is the unique identifier code that you are required to fill (a three-digit code including one letter) and will correspond with your answers in case you want to drop from the survey. In order to ensure the privacy of your responds, research records will be kept in a locked file; access to these records is going to have only the researcher. Information that will make it possible to identify you, are not going to be published. If you require further information after the study, or want to know the outcome, please consult the responsible researcher.

If you have any questions regarding this research project in general, please contact the Dr Sotiris Dedeloudis at s.dedeloudis@icps.edu.gr.
