Online Traps for Children: How to Protect Your family from Internet Traps

The Agency for Regulation and Development of Financial Market shared schemes of deception of Kazakhstani children to gain access to the financial resources of their parents, as well as ways to protect them from fraud.

 

What kind of online traps are used by scammers?

“Unexpected win”

Children can receive messages via social networks, messengers, or e-mail in which they can be promised a monetary gift, or a trip abroad, or an inheritance from a wealthy relative living abroad. To receive a “win”, the child is asked to click on the link and fill out a questionnaire with personal data, including a bank card number. It is important to remember that such requests can be a reason for scammers to seize the funds of parents.

 

“False request for help”

A message from a child’s “friends” or “classmates” may appear on a social network or messenger asking them to transfer money for treatment or other needs. Scammers often convince children not to tell adults about it. If the child transfers the money, it is impossible to return it.

 

“Unique application”

Scammers can send a child a link to an app that promises useful features such as help with games, a way to get rich fast, or location tracking. This application is positioned as free and exclusive. However, after installation, such an application may be spyware that collects personal data, tracks geolocation, and provides access to other programs on the device.

 

How can parents protect their child from scammers?

To protect children, it is important to talk to them in advance about possible threats on the Internet. Explain that you should not share personal information with strangers and that you should always consult with your parents if in doubt. Also, make sure that the child has all the important contact information, including the work and mobile phone numbers of parents, relatives and neighbors, as well as the contacts of the 102 emergency service and the district inspector.
