As Black Friday rolls around, the Better Business Bureau is warning shoppers about possible scams.
“Black Friday is a great opportunity to score deals, but it’s also a time to stay vigilant and shop smart,” said Carl Bates, CEO of BBB Central and South Alabama. “Scammers thrive on chaos, but with preparation and caution, consumers can protect themselves and their wallets.”
With more online deals, scammers are increasingly using fake websites, phishing emails, counterfeit products, and ‘too-good-to-be-true deals’ to steal personal and financial information.● Shop directly on trusted websites and verify URLs include “HTTPS.”● Be cautious of unsolicited messages. Avoid clicking on suspicious links in emails or texts.● Make a list of items to avoid impulse buys and set a budget to prevent overspending.
