Challenge Overview

Many users fall victim to scams because they cannot recognize manipulation tactics used by fraudsters. Traditional fraud awareness methods such as static warnings are ineffective.

Challenge Objective

Create an interactive scam simulation system that teaches users how to recognize and avoid social engineering attacks.

Problem Scope

Focus on user education through simulation-based learning.

Key Issues

• Fraud awareness education is passive or optional.
• Users often fail to recognize scam patterns during real interactions.
• Static warnings are frequently ignored.

Guiding Questions

• How can users learn to recognize scam patterns?
• How can fraud awareness be delivered interactively?
• How can the system simulate real-world scams safely?

What Teams Should Design and Build

An interactive training or simulation system that:

• exposes users to simulated scam scenarios
• teaches them to recognize warning signals

Solutions May Include

• simulated phishing scenarios
