During the holiday season, thieves are quite active, as they try to take advantage of the fact that people are often distracted.
Today, thieves most often use the telephone to carry out fraudulent transactions.
It is also important to be careful while surfing the Internet and using a personal computer.
Let's look at what specific types of fraud we are talking about.
What can scammers do during the holidays?
Here are some types of tricks.
- Fake lotteries. They give away prizes or sell tickets to various concerts or performances. The prize in such a lottery is usually very large.
- Phishing emails. Don't believe in a New Year's miracle when you receive a letter about participating in a contest or winning a large sum of money. Don't follow the links or open the websites!
- Fake websites selling goods. Such resources are created to phishing your card details.
