This lesson introduces pupils to the concept of money mules and helps them understand how criminals use online platforms to recruit young people into illegal activity. Through discussions, real-life scenarios and workbook activities, pupils will learn how to recognise warning signs, protect themselves from online exploitation and understand the consequences of becoming involved in financial crime.
How To Use
Use the accompanying presentation and workbook to guide pupils through the topic of money mules. Introduce key vocabulary, explore how criminals target young people online and discuss the case study examples provided. Pupils can then complete the workbook activities to reinforce their understanding before taking part in a class discussion about safe choices and how to seek help if they encounter suspicious online approaches.
