We are becoming increasingly aware of the many situations in which we might be exposed to scams. The first and most important thing to recognise is that falling for a scam does not make us foolish. In other crimes, victims are not expected to feel embarrassed—and scams are no different. Scammers are criminals who use deception to exploit trust, urgency, and fear.
To help people stay safe, Parent Zone has created a valuable resource, including a short video with practical habits to adopt in order to avoid falling victim to scams. Building awareness and learning to recognize the warning signs are key steps in protecting ourselves and others.
