BBB Highlights 12 Scams Of Christmas | Tuesday, December 6, 2022 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

The holiday season is a time when families get together to celebrate Christmas. The Better Business Bureau says scammers work extra hard during the holidays to prey on consumers. The BBB released their 12 Scams of Christmas which highlights some of the top scams such as fake websites, puppy scams and romance scams.

Wes Lafortune, the Media and Communications Specialist with the Southern Alberta BBB says they found that this year more than $380 million has been lost to online shopping scams across North America. He says only five per cent of those who were defrauded of funds reported the scams.

The Alberta RCMP is also warning of the so-called Grandparents, Grandchild or Emergency Scams which have so far cost Albertans more than $3.5 million in 2022.
