Gaming headset on? Check who’s on the other end.

Online gaming can be a great way for children and young people to connect and have fun. But sometimes gaming chats can also mean they’re talking to people they don’t know offline or who are older than them.

For parents and carers, it’s worth checking in about:
➡️ Who they’re playing with
➡️ What’s being said in chat
➡️ How to turn off the chat
➡️ How to mute, block or report someone

“It’s a shocking feeling when your hard-earned money has gone.”

Mannu thought he was paying his builder. Instead, scammers stole his $20,000 deposit.

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.

No one’s just a number.
