Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is reminding Arizonans to watch out for possible scams while shopping this holiday season.
“Scammers also see the holidays as a wonderful time of the year and you never want to be on their list,” Brnovich said.
“Make responsible purchases and maintain the joy of the season.” He offers the following tips:
Do your research
•Use a business/retailer that you know or trust.
•Beware of unsolicited texts or emails that appear to be from a legitimate business but want you to click a link. Visit a website directly on your own and never from a link you have received.
•Always use trusted websites with reliable track records.
•Before making a purchase based on a social media ad or post, look into the company. Use a search engine to visit the company’s actual website or to search the company’s name with “scam,” “complaint,” or “review”
