Prices too good to be true

How to spot a fake shop online

Level 4: Staying safe with money · from age 9 · 3 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Juma sees a TikTok video: “New football boots, only KES 500! Send money first, we deliver tomorrow.” In town the same boots cost KES 4,000.

The big idea

When a price is far below every other shop, it’s usually a trick. Fake shops take the money and never send anything.

Ask at home

Look at a deal online together and ask your child what makes it look real or fake.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
