Description

A free single-session lesson for ages ten to fourteen, and the introduction to the middle school scam-literacy line.

A text says Kai won a $50 gift card from a raffle he does not remember entering.

The lesson teaches one question — not five warning signs, one question — because a younger student being rushed by a scammer needs something they can actually recall under pressure.

The scenarios throughout this line were chosen because they are what a middle schooler genuinely meets, not simplified versions of adult scams.

•Parent Guide — one page, no preparation needed
