It's not hard to scam young people, 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 young people. Here are common scams that target young people while travelling. 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 goods for amazingly cheap prices—goods that never arrive. Other scams involve contests and 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. Many other common travel scams.

Scams can really negatively affect the person who has been tricked. It can be hard talking about this issue if it has happened to you or someone close to you. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are, anyone can fall for these tricks. I will cover the emotional affect it can have on a person which might be worrying to some.

While doing his computer science degree, Johnathan took classes on hacking and technology scams. This class was designed to look at this growing issue in the technology world and how we could protect and stop it happening to the average person. He even spent time as a "White Hat Hacker" to help local companies look at the weaknesses of computer systems they had been using to stop bad hackers from taking advantage. Learning to be a professional magician ment he had to learn how to pickpocket, trick and con people for entertainment reasons only. This "magic" training has taught him the details of mastering deception and misdirection. His father is also a policeman for 40 years and has helped in training Jo for this class topic from a policemans point of view.

As a serial entrepreneur who founded three successful companies before the age of 30, my drive to succeed in life began in my teens when he realised the power of positive motivation.
"I was lucky enough to have a good mentor who guided me through the intricacies of magic and showmanship. I aim to pass that on to the next generation."
He holds a Bachelors degree and also teaches conversational English to children and adults across the world.Reviews
