Social Media Scams?

Each holiday season you can count on social media scams showing up in some form or another. These days, scams come in all shapes and sizes. Fraudsters use social media sites to advertise various scams to a large audience. Posts might include anything from investment opportunities to items or services for sale. They will also send direct messages/emails/texts, even phone calls to people trying to extract money or personal data which can then be used to access bank accounts and cards.

Missing Package Scam?

Charity?

Sadly, many scammers will capitalize on the goodwill that flourishes this time of year by asking you to make a donation to a charity that does not actually exist. Charity scams involve scammers collecting money by pretending to work for a legitimate cause or charity, or a fictitious one they have created. Often scammers will exploit a recent natural disaster or crisis that has been in the news. They may also play on your emotions by claiming to collect for a cause that will secure your sympathy, for example to help sick children.
