FPS Economy raises awareness of online scams among teenagers

News
Spot de scam

Young people are particularly targeted by scammers because they are heavy consumers of the internet and social networks. Through its awareness campaign #TraqueLarnaque (FR) / #spotdescam (NL), the FPS Economy aims to protect 12-16 year olds against online scams. 

 
A specific website "Track the scam" (in French or Dutch) 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.
