Case 4

You tell a trusted adult like a parent or older sibling.
They help you block the number so they can’t contact you again.
They help with reporting the scam to Action Fraud and to Police Scotland.
They help with calling your bank to explain the situation. You might be able to get a refund.
You also tell your real friend that someone is impersonating them so they can warn others.
🎉 Smart move! You didn’t JUST protect yourself, you helped protect others too!
🤔 Lesson: Scammers rely on victims staying quiet so they can scam other people in future.
What could you do to prevent this from happening in the first place?
