Visit the West Terrace, Food Court, East Terrace, or Security Plaza. Become aware of issues such as scams, purposefully misleading advertising, and identity theft. Learn from this easy to understand and entertaining site with a large variety of relevant lessons. Move to other areas of the mall by clicking on the "Mall Map."
