MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Scammers are working overtime this time of the year to get you to hand over your money.

The internet is full of impostors hoping you click on their copycat websites.

Unfortunately, around 68% of people don’t know how to identify a phishing site, according to NordVPN. The number of fake Amazon sites increased 232% from September to October.

Fake eBay accounts are up 525% in the same period.

“With AI and all that technology, it looks exactly the same,” said Daniel Irwin, a spokesman for the Better Business Bureau of the Mid-South. “And the naked eye can’t tell the difference. Now, to make things worse, most of us don’t use a computer. We use our phones when we’re shopping, and so we’re not looking at the full URL. We can’t see it on our phone. And so that’s how a lot of people get sideways.”

The first thing you want to want to do is double-check the URL. Use a credit card when you shop online. If you accidentally make a bad purchase, you can dispute it with your credit card company.

Double check for contact information on a shopping site.

Finally, you want to search the tracking number immediately when you get it. A fake tracking number is a sign you’ve been scammed.
