Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Michael and Joshua. They were both in
the fourth grade and loved to play video games together.
One day, Michael and Joshua were playing a game online when they saw a suspicious link. It
said, "Click here for free coins! Enter your first and last name, birthdate, and home
address to claim and enter to win a contest for a free PS5 from Paysation!”
Michael and Joshua were excited, but there were a few things that made this link suspicious.

The fact that the link is asking for personal information such as first and last name, birthdate, and home address in exchange for free coins and a chance to win a contest for a free PS5 is suspicious. Legitimate companies would not typically ask for such sensitive information in order to claim a prize or participate in a promotion. Additionally, the misspelling of "PlayStation" as "Paysation" could also be a red flag indicating that this link may be a scam.
