The holiday season means an increase in online shopping and purchases. Cyber Monday and year end gift giving often bring about opportunities for scammers to use distractions to target Veterans and their loved ones.

Bad actors often create fake retail websites, pop-up online stores, or pose as sellers offering discounted merchandise. Victims may make purchases and will either receive counterfeit and low-quality items, or the products will never arrive. Scammers may also steal credit card information that was entered for the purchase.

Veterans who suspect they have experienced fraud can find out more and report to the appropriate agency at VSAFE.gov or calling 833-38V-SAFE.
