Watch Out for these Holiday Card Swindle Tricks
As we head into the final stretch of the busiest shopping season of the year, we ought to be careful of scammers and their ever-evolving ways of swindling unsuspecting victims. One of such ways is through Gift Cards. Scammers take advantage of the holiday season to target you — whether you’re shopping for gifts online, booking holiday travel, looking for seasonal work, or trying to donate to charities. In some cases, the cards themselves are used as bait to manipulate you into giving your sensitive information while in other cases the fraudsters will impersonate officials, demanding payment via gift cards.
