It's not hard to scam young people out of money, or anyone for that matter. They tend to be inexperienced, have trusting natures, and often want to fit in, making them ripe pickings for fraudsters and scam artists, who know just how to take advantage of teens. Here are eight of the more common scams that target teenagers. Given that kids of all ages virtually live and interact online, it's no surprise that the internet is the optimal environment for many of them. This class will cover: Scams that target young people abound, especially in their favourite habitat—the internet. Fraudsters use social media to trick tweens and teens into providing personal information, which can be used for identity theft. Many scams take the form of ads and auctions, promising luxury goods for amazingly cheap prices—goods that never arrive. Other scams involve contests, scholarships, or employment offers that require the young person to pay some sort of fee or deposit. Yet another trick is to lure young people with "free" services for cell phones that actually incur a monthly charge.
