Seven Days, Seven Scams: A Family Recap

Gary's very bad week is a recap of the scams kids meet most: game chat offers, phone calls asking for codes, AI 'friends' asking personal questions, shops that are too cheap, weak passwords and fake parcel messages.

Each one looks different, but they share two things. They rush you, and they ask for something: a password, a code, money or your address.

That's why one habit beats them all: stop, look at who's really asking, and ask someone you trust.

Try it as a family game. Pause the episode at each new day and see who can name the trick first.

The rule from the episode: stop, look, ask.

The rule: Stop. Look. Ask.
