💡 It’s International Fraud Awareness Week! Young people are frequent targets of scams—here are 5 tips to help protect minors and young adults: 1️⃣ Double Check Before You Click! Don’t tap on random links from emails, DMs, or texts, and never let anyone access your phone or computer remotely. Scammers use these tactics to steal your info. 2️⃣ Lock It Up! Secure your sensitive information—lock your phone and place a security freeze on your social security number to safeguard your identity. 3️⃣ Ignore Unknown Contacts Don’t respond to DMs, friend requests, emails, or calls from people you don’t know. Responding gives scammers an entry point. 4️⃣ Never Send Photos or Money! If someone asks for private photos, money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, it’s likely a scam. Remember, you’re not alone—report it and get help if needed. 5️⃣ Ask Questions & Report It! Scams prey on emotions, not intelligence. Speak up, ask for help, and report fraud—it’s the first step toward protecting yourself and others. 📄 Get the flyer!
