As part of the project, children and adolescents are to be made aware of “fake shops” so that they do not fall for scams. The goal is to use Watchlist Internet ( www.watchlist-internet.at) to collect information about fake shops and their methods. Additionally, it should be determined how children and adolescents come across such shops and why they shop at such places.
