The National Olympiad on financial security has started in SKO. As one of the first events, a student flash mob was held among higher educational institutions of the region. Young people of the region "NO to droppers!" held a campaign with the slogan, by which they reminded their peers about the danger of participating in dubious financial schemes.
The purpose of the campaign is to draw the attention of students to the problem of digital fraud, to prevent involvement in illegal schemes, to warn that gullible people - droppers - are often used in such schemes. Young people urged their contemporaries to be aware and not to be deceived by dangerous offers, although they look attractive. As part of this project, from April 7 to 11, employees of the Department of Economic Investigation will organize educational seminars and trainings at universities and colleges in the region. The events are expected to include about 32 thousand students.
The main goal is to increase the financial and legal literacy of young people, to recognize the dangers in the financial space and to teach them how to protect their funds. Participants will study actual cases of fraud and learn cyber security techniques and principles of responsible financial behavior.
- Youth is the future of the country. The ability to resist financial crimes and digital fraud directly depends on their level of awareness, - noted the organizers.
