Check out this blog by SecondHalf Coach Wealth Management and protect yourself from holiday scams.

Tis’ the season, if you haven’t seen them already, you might start now that the holidays are right around the corner. During the holiday season, scammers often use fake websites, urgent offers, phishing links, and fraudulent charities to target shoppers and donors. Protect yourself by shopping and donating through reputable sources, avoiding suspicious links and deals, using secure payment methods, monitoring account activity, and enabling multi-factor authentication.
