"Track the scam" raises teenagers' awareness of online scams

The FPS Economy is running an awareness-raising campaign on online scams for 12-16 year olds: #TraqueLarnaque (FR) / #Spotdescam (NL).

Scammers use different schemes to trick Internet users (online shopping fraud, pyramid sales, phishing, etc.). Young people are particularly targeted because they are very active on the internet and on social networks.

A specific website "Track the scam" contains all the elements of the campaign: a quiz allowing young people to evaluate their level, testimonies of influencers (videos), tips to detect scams and a form to report them, advice on how to protect yourself and how to react in case of a problem. There is also a section for parents.
