Common Holiday Scams to Watch For:

• Vishing & Smishing: Scammers use fake phone calls and texts to impersonate banks or delivery services. Never share passcodes or passwords or click suspicious links.
• Fake Charities: Verify before donating. Scammers often create look-alike websites to steal your money.
• Social Media Scams: Be wary of “too good to be true” giveaways or ads. These often lead to phishing sites or malware.
• Package Tracking Scams: Fraudulent texts or emails may claim to be from delivery services. Always track packages via official websites.

Online Shopping Safety Tips:

• Shop only on secure websites (look for “https://”).
• Use trusted payment methods or digital wallets.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi when entering payment info.
• Monitor your accounts for unusual activity.
  

Protect Your Personal Information:

• Use strong, unique passwords for each account.
• Shred sensitive mail and documents and enroll in e-statements where available.
• Limit personal details shared on social media.
