Section E: Spot the Error

B — When a pop-up offers a prize, the first step is to stop and ask a trusted adult. Clicking to claim the prize skips Ask, Check and Think.

D — The last step is to think before you click. Clicking before you think is risky. It should be think(before_you_click).

A — Ask means asking a trusted adult, such as a parent, carer or teacher. A stranger online is not a trusted adult.

C — The Check step means looking closely at the site address to see if it is real. You should not skip it. It should be: check the site address.

B — You Ask before you act. Asking after you have signed up is too late. It should be: ask a trusted adult first.
