* Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, as they may be holiday scams. * Scammers can rob you of money, personal information, and a festive mood. * Common types of holiday scams include non-delivery scams, non-payment scams, auction fraud, and gift card fraud. * To protect yourself, practice good cybersecurity hygiene, verify the legitimacy of sellers and buyers, and be careful how you pay. * Never wire money directly to a seller, avoid paying with pre-paid gift cards, and use a credit card when shopping online. * Monitor the shipping process and get tracking numbers for items you buy online. * #HolidayScams * #OnlineSafety * #CyberSecurity * #ShoppingOnline * #FBI * #IC3 * #InternetCrimeComplaintCenter * #ScamAwareness * #ConsumerProtection https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/holiday-scams
