Spotting Scams
01.The Too-Good-To-Be-True Rule
Have you ever seen an ad online promising to double your money in a week? Or a message saying you won a lottery you never entered? These are scams! Scammers play on people's greed or fear to trick them into sending money.
02.Phishing and Spoofing
Phishing is when scammers send fake emails that look like they are from your bank or a company like Amazon, asking you to click a link and log in. Always check the sender's email address and never click on suspicious links!
03.When in Doubt, Ask
If a deal sounds too good to be true, it always is! Before sending money or sharing details, always verify with a parent or check with the official website directly. Taking a minute to ask keeps your savings safe.
