Check understanding
- Identify at least two warning signs of a scam (asking for personal details, too-good-to-be-true offers, urgency)
- Explain why you should never share passwords or bank details online
- Describe what to do if they receive a suspicious message or email (don't click, tell an adult)
“If your child received a message saying they'd won a prize and just needed to enter their details, would they know it's probably a scam?”
