Police Scotland’s Student Online Safety Guide aims to equip young people with information and advice to increase their awareness, prepare them to identify potential frauds and prevent the loss of valuable data to those intent on stealing it.
Common frauds that students are experiencing today can range from the more recognisable face-to-face fraud to those carried out by someone anonymously online. Advances in technology enable you to carry out daily tasks more easily, but can be frequently exploited by fraudsters interested in your personal information and money.
This guide will equip you with information and advice to increase your awareness, prepare you to identify potential frauds and prevent the loss of your valuable data to those intent on stealing it.
