The holiday season is a time for giving, but unfortunately, it’s also a time when scammers are out in full force. Here are some common scams to watch out for:
Fake Online Deals: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to reputable websites and avoid clicking on suspicious links.
Phishing Emails: Scammers may send emails pretending to be from trusted retailers or delivery companies. Double-check email addresses and never provide personal information.
Charity Scams: This is the season for giving, but some scammers prey on goodwill. Verify the legitimacy of charities before donating.
Tips to Protect Yourself:
Use secure payment methods like credit cards or trusted platforms.
Don’t share personal or financial information unless absolutely sure.
Trust your gut—if something feels off, take a step back and investigate.
Let’s make this season joyful by staying informed and protecting ourselves and our loved ones. Below we have posted some additional tips from the United States Secret Service.
Stay safe and have a happy holiday season!
