Holiday shopping has moved to our phones, feeds, and inboxes, and scammers have followed. Fake storefronts, lookalike delivery texts, gift card schemes, and slick ads for deals that don’t exist all spike between Black Friday and the new year, and AI tools are making them harder to spot. In this webinar, the National Cybersecurity Alliance and Identity Theft Resource Center will walk you through how today’s shopping scams work, how to check a seller or offer before you buy, and the simple security steps that protect your accounts, money, and personal information all season long. No tech background needed, just bring your questions!

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• The shopping scams to watch for this year, like fake websites and social media ads, and phony gift card requests.

• Easy everyday habits, like using strong and unique passwords, turning on multi-factor authentication, and paying with safer methods, that keep you protected well beyond the holidays.
