Students in the Miami Valley are learning to recognize fraud and scams, and finding out how they can protect themselves from these potential money pitfalls.
Several schools in our area teach a free consumer life skills and financial literacy curriculum called FoolProof.
The goal of the web-based, interactive coursework is to teach a healthy dose of skepticism in a scam-filled world.
Kettering, Xenia, Franklin, Stebbins, Greenville and Lebanon high schools offer FoolProof classes.
News Center 7 consumer reporter Rachel Murray will find out more about what the students learn and what they can teach us about avoiding scams and fraud.
Watch tonight on WHIO-TV at 5pm.
