Project Abstract

Student's participation in social media fraud is a growing concern in today's digital age. This research aims to explore the factors that influence students to engage in fraudulent activities on social media platforms. The study will investigate the impact of peer pressure, financial incentives, and lack of awareness on students' decision to participate in fraudulent schemes. By conducting surveys and interviews with students from various educational institutions, the research seeks to gain insights into the underlying motivations and triggers for fraudulent behavior on social media. The findings of this study are expected to shed light on the prevalence of social media fraud among students and provide valuable information for educators, parents, and policymakers on how to address this issue effectively. Understanding the factors that drive students to participate in fraudulent activities on social media can help in developing targeted interventions and educational programs to prevent such behavior. Additionally, the research will contribute to the existing literature on cybercrime and provide a deeper understanding of the psychological and social mechanisms that influence students' decision-making in the online environment. The implications of this research are significant for both academic and practical purposes. By identifying the key factors that contribute to students' involvement in social media fraud, this study can inform the development of strategies to raise awareness about the risks associated with online scams and promote ethical behavior among young people. Educators can use the findings to incorporate digital literacy and cybersecurity education into their curriculum, helping students to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. Furthermore, the insights from this research can guide policymakers in designing regulations and policies that protect individuals from falling victim to social media fraud. In conclusion, this research project addresses an important and timely issue concerning students' participation in social media fraud. By examining the factors that influence students' decision to engage in fraudulent activities online, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can inform preventive measures and educational initiatives. Ultimately, the findings of this research have the potential to contribute to a safer and more secure online environment for students and the wider community.
