Scammers love the holidays as much as we do, just for very different reasons. As online shopping surges, so do fake websites, fraudulent ads, and too-good-to-be-true deals across social media. Join us for a practical session on how to spot the red flags, verify legitimate sellers, and protect your money and personal information. Learn what to watch for when shopping on social platforms, through unfamiliar websites, or when snagging those limited-time “holiday deals.”

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The most common online shopping scams circulating this holiday season.

  • Quick ways to verify if a deal, ad, or seller is legitimate.

  • Simple security habits to protect your personal and financial information.
