Romance scams target teens specifically because teenagers are often less likely to tell adults about online interactions that feel uncomfortable.
This silence is what scammers count on.
If something feels off in an online relationship — especially one that involves requests for personal information or money — tell someone.
You will never be in trouble for reporting.
Ask your child: "How can you tell if an online friend is who they say they are? What would you do if something felt weird?"
