Scammers often target curiosity and trust. Remind children to keep their OTPs and passwords private, never send money to people they don't know, and speak up whenever they encounter suspicious activity online. Staying alert is the first step to staying safe. #GoldenPosts #ChildOnlineProtection

Keep children safe online. Scammers use fake prizes, urgent requests, and impersonation to trick and pressure kids. Teach your children to never share OTPs, passwords, or money. If an account looks suspicious, report it. #GoldenPosts @Bbossa @UCC_Official @ConsumerUCC @MoICT_Ug @GCICUganda @UgandaMediaCent

Parents and guardians, a simple conversation today can prevent online fraud tomorrow. Teach children never to share one-time passwords (OTPs), passwords, or send money to strangers online.
