A free single-session lesson, and the opener for the whole scam-literacy line.
A text message about an unpaid toll — one of the most widely sent scams in circulation, and one you have probably received yourself. Your student finds what is wrong with it, then learns five warning signs and checks the message against all five.
Individual scams change constantly. The five signs do not, which is why the rest of the line uses the same framework on a new scam every time.
Worth doing properly yourself rather than supervising. These target adults at least as often as teenagers.
