Financial Safety During the Holiday Season
Holiday Shopping? Keep Your Finances Safe The holiday season is a prime time for scammers. Whether shopping in-store or online, use these tips to protect your wallet:
- Use secure websites: Ensure the website’s URL begins with “https” and look for the padlock symbol before entering payment details.
- Monitor your credit card: Regularly check statements for unauthorized charges.
- Avoid gift card scams: Never buy a gift card from someone claiming it’s required for payment or to settle a debt.
Set spending limits: This helps keep your finances in check and minimizes damage in case of fraud. Be proactive this season, and protect your financial well-being while enjoying your holiday shopping!
