Holiday Shopping_cropped2

 

'Tis the season...Shopping Season
You know the shopping season has started when you see an uptick in pop-up ads interrupting
your scroll and promotional emails flooding your inbox. And it should come as no surprise,
when skimming through Black Friday deals or Cyber Monday sales, to learn there are
plenty of scammers and cybercriminals hoping to take advantage of the deal seekers.
Yes – the many 'too-good-to-be-true' deals and the urgency of time-sensitive 'buy-now!' savings
are tempting, but before you click here are some tips to help avoid being scammed.
