Watch Out for Holiday Shopping Scams
Pumpkin pies might be in the oven and football on the TVs, but there's something else on the minds of most Americans today - shopping strategies for the infamous Black Friday.
I know, it's old news that Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year. But there's a new twist on the tradition - almost half of sales this year might actually take place online.
With most of us living paycheck to paycheck already, we don't have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to our holiday budgets. And the Internet offers unlimited access to sales and clearances and a great way to compare prices, helping us save time as well as money. Unlike store shopping, online shopping allows you to look specifically for what you want without getting sidetracked by fancy displays or pushy sales clerks. And maybe best of all, you don't have to freeze your butt off standing in lines at the crack of dawn.
But as always, there's a catch. This time, it's online shopping scams.
