'Tis the Season for Scams
We’re entering the most wonderful time of the year, but if you plan to shop online for the holidays, remember that scammers are always finding new ways to take advantage of the season’s hustle and bustle. By staying vigilant and informed, you can protect your holiday cheer and ensure your shopping experience is safe and stress-free.
Tips to Protect Yourself When You Shop Online
Avoid clicking on links to websites that are provided by others. Google and search for the official Website to access it safely.
Avoid clicking on ads and/or links from social media posts or promoted search results.
Avoid using debit cards. Debit cards do not offer the same protection against identity theft as credit cards.
Check the website’s encryption. Make sure that the website’s URL begins with “https” and that there is a closed lock on the website address bar or an unbroken key symbol in the lower portion of your window.
Activate all available protection measures, including multi-factor authentication, and monitor statements regularly.
