Grades 6–10·Digital safety·Guided journey: Discover, Learn, Practice, Apply

Learn to recognize the most common online scams, phishing emails, fake prize and offer messages, scam texts and calls, and the pressure tactics behind them, then practice the simple habits that keep your accounts, money, and personal information safe.

What you’ll learn

Scams target people, not machines: they use urgency, fear, or excitement to make you act fast.
A real company will never ask for your password, a one-time code, or payment in gift cards.
Verify independently: open the real app or type the website yourself instead of using a link in a message.
If you slip up, change the password, turn on two-step verification, and tell a trusted adult right away.
