The lives of teenagers today revolve around their cell phones and technology, and it's an essential part of their lives. They are virtually living and interacting online in so many ways, and it's an optimal environment for many of them. It's the forces of nature (our curiosity and discoveries) and science (innovation and technology) combined, and although there are many potential advantages to technology; not all people use it responsibly. There is no police for the internet (No LifeGuard on Duty), and this means that the technology arena for the internet is shared by everybody - including FRAUDSTERS! A fraudster is synonymous with a deceiver, victimizer, con artist, scammer, or trickster. Sadly, these fraudsters are everywhere on the internet, social media, cell phones, applications, games, television, and all other types of technology. It's not difficult for fraudsters to deceive teenagers, because they have a trusting nature, are inexperienced, and want to be socially accepted. The awkward growth stages between 13 and 18-years old pose the same problems for everyone such as hormonal changes, social and parental interactions, school and work pressures, homework, exams, career planning, practices, games, household chores, and not to mention any unprecedented stresses that just surface daily. Fraud Awareness, Prevention & Protection for #TEENS was written by a Certified Fraud Examiner who organized information, resources and, references into an understandable format fit for a teenager no matter how novice or advanced they are in technology. There are certain parts of the book that are geared towards 'self-help' if you were or are a victim of a fraudster, and also for those on how you can prevent and protect yourself. Teenagers are the future, and every single one is special and a vital part of tomorrow!
