('Tis the season for scams)....A warning from the FBI.

They say scammers do not take the holidays off. In fact, they work over-time during this time of year. Especially prevelant this time of year are the online scams. In a press release issued by the FBI, they say with more people than ever doing their holiday shopping online, lookout for scams designed to steal money and personal information. They say if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers may offer too good to be true deals through phishing emails or advertisements. Some may offer brand name merchandise at extremely low discounts or promise gift cards as an incentive to purchase a product. Others may offer products at a great price, but the products being sold are not the same as the products advertised. Steer clear of suspicious sites, phishing emails, or ads offering items at unrealistic discounts
