🧑‍🏫 For teachers — classroom-ready ideas

Short, high-impact sessions that work in 20–40 minutes. Every idea uses the real screenshots and scam database already on this site — no extra prep.

🕵️ Ages 7–11 · “Spot the fake” with real screenshots
Open the scam screenshot gallery and ask the class: real or fake, and why? Start with delivery texts and prize messages. Lesson point: scammers use fear and “free” offers to make you act fast. Rule to practise: never enter codes or share details — ask an adult first.
🔐 Ages 11–14 · The OTP game
Show a real “your account is blocked” text and ask the class to write what they would do. Then reveal the scam: banks and governments never ask for your OTP. Role-play the call and the SMS, and practise the only two correct moves — ignore it, or verify through the official app.
🎮 Ages 11–16 · Free currency & gaming scams
Scammers sell “free” game currency, rare skins or account boosts, then steal the login or payment. Use the in-game scam lesson: if a deal is outside the official store, it is a scam. Real game items never require your password or your parent’s card.
🧑‍💻 Ages 14–18 · Sextortion, fake jobs & money mules
Older students are targeted with “easy money” jobs, fake scholarship offers and sextortion pressure. Discuss: no legitimate job asks you to receive and forward money; anyone threatening to share your photos is a criminal — stop contact and tell a trusted adult immediately.
📣 15-minute assembly plan
Walk through three real screenshots from the gallery, state the golden rule for each, then close with: if a message pressures you to act now — stop, tell an adult, and use the official app to check. That single habit stops most student-targeted scams.

🎒 For students — the golden rules

1️⃣
Never share your OTP, PIN or password — not with friends, not with “the bank”, not with anyone.
2️⃣
If it sounds too good to be true — free money, free game currency, a prize you never entered — it is a scam.
3️⃣
A stranger asking for money, photos or secrets is a scammer. Stop replying, block them and tell a trusted adult.
4️⃣
Messages that scare you — “your account is blocked”, “a fine is due” — are pressure tricks. Check through the official app or ask an adult before doing anything.
5️⃣
If you already paid or shared a code, tell an adult now. Freeze the card if you can, then report it officially — you will not be in trouble, and acting fast is what gets money back.

Practise with the interactive check: “Should I report this?” — two minutes, real scenarios.

🛡️ For parents & safeguarding leads

📋 If a pupil is targeted — escalation steps
1) Record: save the messages and screenshots without replying. 2) Assess: is money involved, or is it grooming or sextortion pressure? 3) Support: the child is never at fault — keep them calm and blame-free. 4) Report through the official channel for your country (below). For immediate danger, call the police emergency number.
