The catfish may send you verification of their funds in the bank which is a forgery and just a template taken off the internet. The may also send a copy of a phoney license , passport or fake documentation explaining why the catfish so urgently needs you to send money.

The #1 Rule: TALK TO YOUR KIDS.
Having open, judgment-free conversations is the best defense against online exploitation. By discussing topics like sextortion and online dangers, you empower your children to recognize these threats. Let them know they can always come to you—without fear of getting in trouble.
SET ACCOUNTS TO PRIVATE
Ensure your child’s social media and gaming profiles are private, not public. This prevents strangers from accessing their information.
Pause Before Posting
Teach kids to think before they share—no personal details like full names, schools, or locations should be made public.
The Golden Rule: NEVER SEND A NUDE
No one should ever ask for or expect this. Make sure your child knows:
If someone pressures you, tell a trusted adult immediately. We will NOT be mad at you. We are here to help
Believe & Support Your Kids
Online predators rely on secrecy. The best way to keep kids safe is by being a trusted, open resource for them. Let them know they are never alone, and their safety comes first—always.
Have the conversation, set boundaries, and build trust. Together, we can protect kids online.
