Cybersafe vs ScamAlerts

*** Please play our game and support our cause to stamp out cyberbullying! *** Cybersafe is an app created by students from Goffs School UK to help children deal with cyberbullying through gaming. This app contains 3 fun mini games - each tackling a different issue chosen by the students. - Detective Charlee: An endless flying game which teaches children to collect cyberbully evidence, by taking screenshots of nasty comments on social networks, to email to a trusted friend or adult. - PaS$w0rdBlockr: A challenging puzzle game which encourages children to keep their passwords safe and be wary of people hacking their online accounts. - Goof Run: An endless running game with helpful cyberbully advice along the way, set in a colourful chatroom. The student designers – aged 12-15 say: "Cybersafe is a cyberbully advice game designed by children for children as online bullying is becoming a persistent problem. We, the students of Goffs School UK, designed three mini games in one app - not just to give children the opportunity to have fun and socialise but also to help them cope if they are being bullied or are in any way at a social disadvantage. We wanted to give practical tips and skills on what to do and how to deal with cyberbullying through game play. Parents and adults who care about children’s online safety will find this a useful app too. There are links to the UK law enforcement agency CEOP which gives further help and offers a place to report abuse. We are really excited that the Big Lottery funded Cybersafe's production and that we have the chance to help our peers on a global scale."

With the rise in online scams, which cost U.S consumers $12.5 billion in 2023, we all need to stay on guard and protect ourselves. Our app sends notifications to users so they can keep up to date on emerging scams and get access to tips that can help them stay protected. The app also allows users to easily share these news stories and tips with family and friends who may be targeted by fraudsters. The app has the following features: • Alerts on scams that are trending so users can stay on guard. • The ability to easily share content with friends and family who may be at risk. • Access to a news feed that allows you to stay up to date on online scams. • Tips on how users can stay protected from scams. • List of online scams so users can educate themselves and avoid them. • Resources for users who have been victimized. • Charts that show trends in online scams. • The ability to submit user experiences so the app can later add visualizations to show which scams are trending. By getting the word out on specific scams, our hope is that we can help people stay protected and avoid being victimized.
