Australia - Internet sweep day focuses on the online generation

Consumer protection agencies from around the world will focus on the sites targeting young people in this year's international internet Sweep Day.  In Australia, the Sweep Day will be held on Tuesday 21 September.

Young people are more likely to shop, conduct financial transactions and socialise online than other groups. But while many may have the technical knowhow they can be easy targets for unscrupulous traders or scammers.

The Sweep Day is organised globally by the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network.
