Between Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, mixed with the holidays, the Better Business Bureau is noticing an uptick in scams. While these dates are considered the most essential retail days of the year, the Better Business Bureau says it's a prime opportunity for scammers to attack those looking for a deal. Don O'Brien, a scam investigator at the B-B-B, says watch out for those deals that are too good to be true.
According to the B-B-B, nearly 80 percent of holiday shoppers turn to online methods to find the best deal, which is a prime opportunity for scammers. The best tips to beat the fraudsters are to review the return policy and warranty information. Oftentimes, scammers leave out that information, leaving you stuck with the item and no return policy.
