As the holidays approach and online sales increase, legitimate emails sent to your inbox will increase as well. Be on the lookout for phishing scams masquerading as trusted companies. Always double check the domain in an email that looks like it came from a trusted source. Never click links that are sent to your email, instead you can always log in to your account directly.

It’s easy to go down a shopping rabbit hole and end up at an unscrupulous website searching for a great bargain. However, just like you wouldn’t want to shop in a store that looks like it might not be there next month, you shouldn’t trust your credit card and personal information with a website that might disappear next month as well. When it comes to online shopping, it’s best to stick with reputable companies whose authenticity can be verified.
Scammers are creating fake online shopping websites for the purpose of duping would-be customers into giving away their credit card and personal information for false bargains. If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
