What your child will learn
Recognize Discord DM scams including fake Nitro gift links with spoofed domains
Understand that legitimate game staff never ask for passwords through DMs
Identify URL spoofing in fake V-bucks and Robux generator sites
Distinguish real account risks from benign interactions using identity verification
Set up 2FA with an authenticator app on a mock gaming account
How this mission works
A 5-scene interactive lab covering the gaming scams parents ask about most. Scene 1: A Discord DM offers free Nitro through a suspicious link — examine the URL, report the user, and verify through official channels. Scene 2: A "Roblox Moderator" DMs you demanding your password to verify your account — learn why official staff never operate this way. Scene 3: A fake V-bucks/Robux generator site appears — spot the URL spoofing (rob1ox.com, v-bucks-free.net) and understand why free currency is always a scam. Scene 4: Someone from your school adds you in-game with a matching username — learn to verify identity through a separate channel (not every interaction is a scam). Scene 5: Interactive 2FA setup walkthrough — enable two-factor authentication on a mock gaming account using an authenticator app.
What students actually encounter
Discord DM: "Claim your free Nitro gift! d1scord-gift.net/claim/yours". The link looks official but something is off — what is it?
"Roblox Moderator" DM: "Your account is flagged. Send your password to verify ownership or face a permanent ban." What do you do?
Fake site: "Get 10,000 Free V-Bucks! v-bucks-free[.]net". Spot the 3 red flags before you click.
