As the season
winds down, scammers ramp up. Fake shipping updates that offer limited-time
travel deals, and charity scams all spike in the month of December.
Common lures to
be wary of:
- Texts claiming a package "couldn't be delivered" with a link to click
- Last-minute travel deal emails from unknown senders
- Fake charity requests preying on holiday generosity
- E-cards or gift notifications from unfamiliar contacts
Stay safe and
protected:
- Don't click links in unexpected shipping or delivery texts; check tracking directly on the retailer's site
- Research charities before donating; give through verified websites
- Verify travel deals directly with the airline or hotel
- Trust your instincts; if something feels off, pause before clicking
