Here are some pro tips to help you avoid scams and keep the good times going all season long. Watch out for:
• Donation requests from unknown organizations. Research charities through official websites and make sure your donations are made through secure donation processes.
• Emails or texts claiming suspiciously good deals, unusual account activity, or missed deliveries. You can verify these notifications directly by visiting official websites or using trusted apps. When in doubt, don’t click any links and leave suspicious web sites.
• Emergency texts claiming to be from loved ones requesting financial help. Double-check the situation by contacting the person directly before taking any action.
