Are you dreaming of a Black Friday or a White Christmas?

November and December are the busiest online shopping months of the year. They’re also the busiest time for online fraudsters. They take advantage of the fact that this is the season of goodwill, you’re very busy and you're looking for a bargain.

That’s why we’re working with Get Safe Online to bring you expert, easy-to-follow safety tips to help protect you from getting caught out by seasonal scams, such as realistic-looking phishing e-mails, posts that advertise offers that are too good to be true, fraudulent shopping websites and fake goods.
