Scam Alert Saturday!

πŸŽ„It’s that time of year! One filled with joy, laughter, family, and scams. Wait— scams?! Yes, unfortunately, the holiday season is when scammers ramp up their tactics and frequency.

Be careful when shopping online or buying from places that are not official businesses. Remember that you should choose what type of card you pay with online carefully. Always double check that the adorable gift you are so excited to purchase for a loved one is actually what it’s advertised to be.

A scam not mentioned on the image above is the delivery scam that we highlighted a few weeks ago. These will also be more prevalent since deliveries are more common. π‘Œπ‘œπ‘’ 𝑀𝑖𝑙𝑙 π‘›π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘π‘Žπ‘¦ π‘£π‘–π‘Ž 𝑑𝑒π‘₯𝑑 π‘šπ‘’π‘ π‘ π‘Žπ‘”π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘’π‘›π‘ π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘Žπ‘π‘˜π‘Žπ‘”π‘’ π‘šπ‘Žπ‘˜π‘’π‘  𝑖𝑑 π‘‘π‘œ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’!
