Teach your kids to spot online scams—fake giveaways, phishing emails & too-good-to-be-true deals. #SaferInternetDay #OnlineSafety Scammers love urgency! Remind your kids: if a message says, “Act NOW or lose out!”—pause, think, and verify. No rush is worth getting scammed. #ThinkBeforeYouClick #SaferInternetWeek Teach your child the ‘4-Question Scam Check: ✅ Is it too good to be true? ✅ Do they want personal info? ✅ Is there pressure to act fast? ✅ Can you verify it elsewhere? “Mum, I won a free iPad!” 🚨 STOP. THINK. CHECK. Most online prizes aren’t real unless you actually entered. Remind your kids: if it’s free but asks for details, it’s likely a scam. Scammers pretend to be people we trust. Show your kids how to check official sources before clicking links from ‘friends’ or ‘brands.’ When in doubt, go direct! #StaySafeOnline For Kids and Teens 👦📱👧 OMG, free Robux?! WAIT! 🚨 If a website or message promises free game currency, skins, or cash—it’s likely a scam. Don’t share your account details! #ThinkBeforeYouClick #SaferInternetDay Don’t let FOMO get you scammed! If a deal feels urgent, step back. Scammers want you to panic. Ask a parent, teacher, or friend before clicking anything sketchy! #StaySafeOnline If a ‘friend’ message you for money, STOP! 🛑 Their account might be hacked. Always check in person or call them before sending anything. #BeCyberSmart #SaferInternetWeek “Click this link to win!” 🚨 NOPE. Never click on random links in DMs, emails, or texts.
