Be Christmas Savvy

Dear Resident,

🎄The season of giving is also the season of scams. As you shop, donate, and share online, take a moment to protect yourself and loved ones 🎄

✨ Stay One Step Ahead:

Think twice before clicking links in emails or texts claiming to be “urgent deals” or delivery issues.

Only shop from trusted websites and double check website URLS.

Never share one-time passcodes or personal details – even if the message looks official.

Keep an eye on bank statements for any unusual activity.

Pay safely by using credit cards or secure payment services rather than bank transfers.

Be cautious with social media ads offering deals that seem too good to be true.

Verify charity appeals – scammers often exploit generosity at Christmas.

🎅 A little caution goes a long way toward keeping Christmas joyful, not stressful. Stay alert, stay secure, and enjoy the festive season.
