Money & gifts

Spot cash requests, gift-card pressure, or financial grooming tactics before your child is out any money.

Joey surfaces when someone nudges your child to send cash, gift cards, skins, or passwords tied to financial accounts.

What this alert monitors

Differentiates normal gifting between friends from leveraged or guilt-based requests.
Offers context so you can tell if the sender is a known friend, an older teen, or a stranger.

Every family conversation is different. Treat these ideas as starting points and add your own context, values, and tone.

Review family rules around purchases and why gift-card requests are a scam red flag.

If your child already sent money, capture receipts and screenshots before contacting the platform.

Discuss healthy boundaries for lending money, even to well-meaning friends.
