Scam centers – level 1
15-12-2025 15:00
People get calls, messages, or emails from someone who wants their money. They say that they are a bank or a friend. We call these people scammers.
Scammers make big buildings to trick people. Some workers go there for money. Others cannot leave and get hurt. Scammers use fake pictures and messages to take money. Some workers get help and go home.
The police try to close the buildings. It is not easy. Scammers have many buildings in many places. You must be careful. Do not answer strange calls, messages, or friends online. It is a good way to stay safe.
Difficult words: trick (to make someone believe something), fake (not real), strange (not usual).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why is it not easy for the police to close scam buildings?
