The holiday season, while filled with joy and generosity, also marks a peak period for digital scams, as criminals exploit the surge in online shopping and charitable donations. In 2023, global digital sales for November and December are expected to reach $1.25 trillion, with the U.S. contributing $270 billion, leading to a proliferation of delivery scams targeting consumers. Despite increased awareness, many people fall victim to scams like puppy schemes and fraudulent charities, resulting in significant financial losses. For example, puppy scams, which surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to deceive buyers into paying for non-existent pets, while charity scams manipulate donors' goodwill by posing as reputable organizations. Research indicates that last year, online scams cost consumers over $12.5 billion, with older adults experiencing the highest losses. To combat these threats, individuals are advised to remain vigilant and verify the legitimacy of websites and requests, particularly during the holiday season, to protect themselves from becoming victims.
