Common Scams
Targeted At Teens


The inexperienced and trusting nature of young people is often what causes them to fall victim to scam artists. Some scam artists know how to identify and take advantage of teens and their need to fit in. Also, because teens are often so involved in new technology and web-based interactions, it's no surprise that many scammers have found the Internet to be the optimal environment for preying on teens.
Have you ever seen ads online for cheap iPhones, electronic gadgets, designer clothes and other luxury goods being sold at just a fraction of the retail price? Many of these advertisements are simply scams aimed at unsuspecting youngsters who are looking for a good deal. However, in many cases, these cheap goods don't even exist. After these teens hand over their money to the scam artist, they never receive the promised merchandise. Sadly, these teens are often so embarrassed about being duped that they won't tell their parents or the authorities.
Some young people may be naïve to a point where they don't even realise that they could be victims of identity theft. Many of these scams operate online, making use of emails or pop-up windows that ask for verification of account information, credit card information or any other kind of personal data, which teens hand over without further thought.
Many teens want also to personalize their gadgetry with new ringtones and wallpaper images. Some companies target teens for these "free" services that send new ringtones and images on a regular basis. However, what they don't advertise is that this service comes with a hefty fee that'll be added to the phone bill each month. So, it’s important to know that if anything looks too good to be true, then probably it is.
In the end, parents should make their children aware of any potential scams, even if they need to repeat themselves because it's always better to be safe than sorry.
