Recognize the signs of a fake news article on social media. 
Practice identifying unverified information on social media and responding in an appropriate way. 
Key Terms

Source: The website, organization, or person that information comes from. 
Credible: Believable and trustworthy.
Fake news: A news story that looks real but has been made up. 
Clickbait: An article that has a catchy headline to get people to click on it. 

Prosocial Behaviors 

Fake news articles use shocking and exaggerated headlines and images to get you to click on them. 
Unusual web addresses or site names, including those that end with ‘.com.co’ are also a sign of fake news.

Recognize and identify phishing scams on social media.
Practice strategies to avoid identity theft and take action against phishing scams.

Phishing scam: When someone poses as an institution, like a bank or a school, and posts a message asking you to provide private information. 
Shortened URL: A web address that has been condensed and that could potentially mislead a user into going into a risky website. 
Prosocial Behaviors

One way someone can try to steal your identity on the internet is by getting you to click on a link or enter information about yourself.
Look out for shortened URLs in posts or private messages. This is a strategy scammers use to make people go into a risky website.
Be wary of messages that sound urgent. Scammers often create posts that make you worry or feel like something is wrong.
