Shop smart this holiday season - at least that's the word from leaders of the Better Business Bureau.

The B-B-B says imposters and scammers want to take advantage of shoppers dealing with high inflation and increased prices of consumer goods.

According to Don O'Brien, a scam investigator with the B-B-B, the worst scam is holiday pop-up shops.

According to O'Brien, the B-B-B receives hundreds of reports about holiday pop-up shops each year.

More often than not, the pop-up shops are selling poor quality merchandise with an inability to obtain a refund.
