They range from false influencers all the way to romantic scams. Cristina shared these three tips you can use to help protect your love ones!<\/p>\n

PARENTAL CONTROLS<\/h4>\n

Set up those parental controls on your child\u2019s phone. From setting a timer on social media apps, to blocking certain content. Don\u2019t know how to do it? You can always buy a phone that has the parental controls in place.<\/p>\n

Remind them to never give out personal information such as home address, name of school, phone number, date of birth, social security number, age, etc., to not only strangers but to the general online public.<\/p>\n

REPORT THE FRAUD<\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t just let it slide by. If you are a victim of fraud or suspect fraud report it. You can report it on the social media app, go to a consumer page, or file a complaint on the Federal Trade Commission\u2019s website here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
