A restroom-stall one-pager for students in grades 6-12 (fall). Game chat scams look like a friendly trade, a giveaway or a 'mod' who needs to check your account. Three tips — Trades stay inside the game; Real mods never need your password; Tell someone you trust — a spot-the-scam chat message with 5 red flags and the answer printed upside down, a sourced fun fact, a 60-second action and a QR code to a free two-minute lesson.
