The Better Business Bureau wants you to keep your guard up when shopping online, as one of the newer scams involves the bad guys impersonating shopping networks on social media.
If you place an order through them, the BBB Scam Tracker is reporting losses from customers that never receive the product they pay for. BBB Investigator Don O’Brien says you should always ensure you are on a company's official website and not an impostor site.
Also, watch out for deals that are too good to be true. Scammers draw people in with deals that sound incredible. Stay skeptical if a deal seems unreasonably good, and think before you buy.
