Holiday Scams to Rip Your Credit Off
We talked at length about the identity theft scams of phishing and other forms of identity and credit theft a few posts ago. Well, it’s been reported that unscrupulous thieves and scam artists are even more rampant to steal your money around the holidays.
More phishing emails are sent out, masked as either a charitable cause, or to get you to somehow divulge your personal information so that thieves can take your money or somehow access credit card numbers and make purchases you did not authorize.
Actually, this happened to me, even though I didn’t open any suspicious emails or anything, so that just goes to show how easy it is for hackers and other n’er do wells to get into your personal information and spend your money.
