It's amazing that Advent has already arrived. Unfortunately with the holidays come all the associated scams, such as those shipping and online order phishing messages. Make sure you are watching out for any suspicious communications, check the sender mail addresses, watch for grammar errors or broken english and don't click on the links inside emails and texts. Instead verify the information directly on the organization's website. Scammers count on us to be busy and in a hurry. Some of them have created very realistic looking messages and fake websites. Stay vigilant and make sure you are only making "donations" to the charitable organizations of your choice, and not some scammer who tricked you. There is a lot of information below to watch and read for all the ways you can be on the lookout for holiday scammers.
