SYN media acknowledges and pays respect to the people of the Woirung and Boonwurrung language groups of the Eastern Kulin nations - on whose unceded lands the SYN studios stand. SYN extends this respect to the traditional custodians and people of the lands and waters our content reaches. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land. (MUSIC)

Hi, my name is Sundara. I'm talking from SYN. You're listening to Emerging Voices podcast, and my podcast is about staying safe online. When I was part of a co-design workshop at the organisation called South Australian Council for Intellectual Disability, this project was called Staying Safe Online. Here are my tips for staying safe online. First is to make sure... you check the website that you are searching for, correct [?] looks like this, HTTPS, 2dots slash, two slashes, www.com.au... when searching a website, make sure that you it looks genuine. Don't click on a message asking for your personal details, such as your bank details, if unsure you ask a trusted person when online, make sure you think before you post. Treat this with respect, fact check information, protect your privacy online. If you get scammed, report it and the... here is a website to report it: HTTPS, two dots, slash, two slashes. Scamwatch.gov.au backslash. Report a scam. This website also gives you more resources, and we're going to play something from the website.

(Male 1:) This is such a nice couch. $50 deposit. Fair enough. (Female 1:) Hold on. Stop, go on. (Male 1:) Don't send money if we're not sure. (Automatic female 2:) I've had some suspicious activity. Can I check your bank details? (Female 2:) Okay, May 10, let's check this. Let's call the bank's official number. (Male 1:) Your account is now overdue. (Male2:) Steve, Steve, Steve. Let's protect ourselves. That email address does not look right. (Male 1:) Ahhh. (Female 3:) Stop, check, protect. Keep us all safe from scammers.
