--SRC_”YOUR_KID”

Scammers turned deception into a trillion-dollar industry. Don’t let your loved ones bankroll it.

She thought it was just a game

Anna’s 12. Smart. Sweet. Loves playing Roblox. Yesterday, a “new friend” told her she could earn free credits. All she had to do? Click a link. It looked real. She clicked. Now her tablet’s infected. Her data? Stolen. And she’s too scared to tell you. You’ll only find out when your card gets charged. Or worse — when a stranger messages her again. This happens every day — to good kids from great homes.

Kids rarely talk to parents about this…

Some kids won’t even tell you what they had for lunch. So, can you really expect them to come running to you when:

  • someone asked them for a photo that made them uncomfortable.
  • they clicked a link they knew they shouldn’t have.
  • a stranger said something creepy… but “it was probably nothing.”
  • they’re getting bullied in a group chat every night before bed.

That’s why you need protection that doesn’t wait for them to speak up. It watches, filters, blocks, and alerts - before the damage is done.

The scams your kids don’t see coming

Scammers are smarter than ever. And kids? They’re trusting, curious, and always online

“Free Robux” or “Free V-Bucks” Scams
Fake Influencer Giveaways
Impersonator Chats
It starts with a promise: “Get free game currency now.” They click. Malware installs. Accounts get stolen. Sometimes even yours.
“You’ve won an iPhone! Just enter your info.” Looks like TikTok. Ends in identity theft.
“I’m your friend’s cousin. Wanna join our private server?” Predators start friendly. Then it escalates.
Fake Antivirus Pop-Ups
Sextortion via Social Media Catfishing
Gaming Account Hijacks
Pop-ups pretending to be antivirus apps. Click-to-clean = click-to-infect.
Scammers pose as flirty teens, get kids to send private photos — then threaten to share them unless they pay.
Kids get tricked into unfair trades or fake “login to claim” pages. Scammers steal their accounts — and sell their digital stuff for cash.

The internet doesn’t come with a safety manual. So we made one.

Digital Hygiene Tips for Parents

You can’t bubble-wrap the internet. But you can build a better immune system. The habits below may seem trivial, but they make a huge difference.

Talk about scams
Be the safe space, not the punishment
Set clear rules (and stick to them)
Kids hate these kinds of talks. They roll their eyes, act like they know it all. But deep down? They listen. Because when something weird pops up online, your voice is what echoes in their head.
If they mess up - and they will - don’t explode. You want them to run to you, not from you.
Define when, where, and how long they can use devices. Be consistent. Structure helps.
Keep devices in shared spaces
Know what they’re up to online
Use security that works behind the scenes
Living room? Yes. Bedroom behind closed doors? Not yet. It helps you catch red flags early.
What games they play. What sites they visit. Who they chat with. You don’t need to read every message — but you do need visibility.
You can’t be everywhere. But smart protection - such as what we offer at Bitdefender - can. Block threats. Filter garbage. Get alerts. Sleep better.
