Holiday Fraud

     Well, the holiday season is upon us.  November has Thanksgiving and Hannukah and December, of course has Christmas.  These two months collectively "make or break" store, retail outlets, internet stores and many service companies.  There is a reason that the day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday." 

     But, more important, the holiday season is also supposed to be a time of giving when we help out our fellow human beings.  Charities also view these two months as "make or break" months when they collect the lion's share of donations.  It also goes without saying that the purpose of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas is to remind us to give to those around us.

     Of course, fraudsters use these holidays for their own purposes.  Sad as it is, fraudsters will also use these months as perfect opportunities for frauds and scams.  Further, because of the importance of these holidays, often our "guard" is down and we are more susceptible to frauds and scams than at other times throughout the year.

    We will spend some time analyzing fraud schemes and scams during the holiday season.
