Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User

Saturday's here on The Answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

:

Believe it or not

the holidays are right around the corner

4

:

and they're coming up quickly.

5

:

And it's going to be the time of year

where there's frantic shopping,

6

:

looking at deals online and in stores,

and also the time of year

7

:

the bad guys come out to try

to separate you from your money.

8

:

As we get in a rush on the holiday season,

it's much easier to overlook things

9

:

and get brought in by a scam.

10

:

This happens every year and it's

not going to be any better this year.

11

:

The best thing to do is to take the time

to keep an eye on what you're doing,

12

:

even if you're in a hurry.

13

:

If that email doesn't sound right,

if that deal seems too good to be true, or

14

:

if that website seems off a little ways,

take these things into consideration.

15

:

If you get an email that you need to pay

your bill, or the account's messed up

16

:

or something like that,

17

:

make sure you actually get Ahold

18

:

of the company directly using contact

information from their website,

19

:

and do not use anything in the email

you received,

20

:

because that might connect you

to the scammers.
