Reading
1 __________________
More than 60% of Americans say they have been a victim
of an online scam, but with experience people get better
at spotting them. However, young people are often the
target of scammers because they have less experience and
they tend to click links without thinking. Here are three
scams to avoid.
2 __________________
The youth of today enjoy personalising their phones with
cool sounds. Knowing this, scamming websites offer ‘free’
or cheap ringtones, often using cartoons to catch the
attention of the young who think they are getting
something for free or are paying for a single tone. The
website continues sending them ringtones, and this
‘service’ costs money which appears on the phone bill at
the end of the month. It is usually a shock to the person
who pays the phone bill – usually the parents! Our
suggestion – ask a parent before you add any service to
your phone!
3 __________________
If you see a luxury product advertised at a cheap price,
beware! What seems ‘too good to be true’ almost always
is. In many cases, the product doesn’t even exist, and you
are left waiting forever. Or the goods arrive but they are
cheap imitations. Often the teenager is too embarrassed
to tell their parents, so the scammer is usually never
caught. Our advice – check the website is real with
reviews from real people.
4 __________________
Some scammers run contests to get personal information
and even money. It works like this. The young person has
to pay a small amount of money to enter a writing
competition in the hope of getting their work published.
After sending their work in, it is amazingly chosen as a
winner. They are then asked to pay more money for the
work to be published, which never is. Our tip – never pay
for your work to be published.
