Cyber Monday, a popular shopping day, is also a prime target for scammers. Around 74 million people are expected to shop online deals this year, with an estimated $14.2 billion in spending. The Better Business Bureau advises consumers to be cautious of suspicious links and recommends using credit cards for purchases. In case of a scam, contact your bank, file a complaint with the FTC and the ICCC, and seek assistance from the Identity Theft Resource Center for identity theft concerns.
