A new analysis of federal data shows more younger people are getting scammed these days.
An extreme example of the dangers just played out in Riverside, California."If something like this can happen here, in our neighborhood, it can happen anywhere," said Michelle Blandin.
For Blandin, that's the one bright spot in this tragedy. But, she said,"catfishing led to the deaths of the three most important people in my life." McClellan says Generation Z has grown up with social media, so they think they are too smart to fall for scams."This is the problem," he said."Because when someone randomly messages them, follows them or sends them a text, they're overconfident in their abilities.". That's when a victim is tricked into sharing compromising photos.
"More often than not, what is happening with your child, the answer lies deep within their digital signal," said Titania Jordan. She works for Bark, an app that parents can use to monitor their children's interactions online. The technology combs through text messages, emails, YouTube, social media platforms and more. It can alert parents to issues like cyberbullying, adult content, sexual predators, and threats of violence or suicide.
