Scams can vary by month and region, but as of recent trends, three scams that tend to be particularly prevalent in November include:
1.
Holiday Shopping Scams: With the holiday season approaching, scammers ramp up efforts to exploit consumers. This includes fake online stores, phishing emails pretending to be from legitimate retailers, and fraudulent offers on social media. Scammers may use tactics such as creating fake deals or selling non-existent products.
2.
Tax Scams: Some scammers start targeting individuals with tax-related schemes as the end of the year approaches. These can include fake IRS calls or emails threatening legal action if immediate payment is not made, or phishing attempts to steal personal information under the guise of tax updates.
3.
Charity Scams: During the holiday season, there’s an increase in charitable giving. Scammers often exploit this by posing as charitable organizations to solicit donations. These scams can take the form of fraudulent phone calls, emails, or websites that appear to be associated with legitimate charities.
It’s always a good idea to be cautious, verify sources, and use secure payment methods to protect yourself from scams.
