A. Create false profiles as kids on social media and gaming platforms. They will then become friends with the kids and compliment them on their Tik Tok videos and game-play.

B. Predators use microphone voice changers to sound like kids and then befriend them. The goal is to start sexual talk and send/receive images and videos. Most Predators online are male.
C. Kids using microphone voice changers to sound like a teenager, then the Predator contacts the kids to try and get images and or videos.
D. Predators will be playing popular games like Fortnite in order to come across as “cool” to the kids. They will then friend them on the games which enables them to start sending private messages.
E. Predators will tell the kids how good they are at the games and even offer to help them get better so they can get more stuff and thus be more popular.
F. Online Predators using gaming platforms will have a phone number or email as their profile name. EX: call 555-555-1234 or fortnitemaster@gmail.com they will tell the kids via the microphone in game-play that if they contact them they will give them cheats and secrets and even free gaming money.
