As is the case every year, scammers are out in full force this holiday season, stopping at nothing to extract your hard-earned money from you. The Better Business Bureau says one widespread scam this year involves finding what appears to be the perfect pet online. So before shopping at an online retailer, look for an address or phone number on the website so that you have someone to contact in case there’s a problem. Be especially cautious when following links found on social media.
