As holiday shopping approaches, consumers should be vigilant of scams that often begin with a "card declined" message. Verifying website URLs and avoiding urgency in offers are crucial.
Steve McFarland from the Better Business Bureau emphasizes the importance of checking for 'https' in website URLs and being cautious of fake, look-alike sites to protect your financial information.
Beware of red flags during online shopping, such as sites that pressure you to buy immediately or those that exclusively require specific payment apps like Zelle, as these can indicate scams.
If you suspect your payment information has been compromised, contacting your bank or credit card issuer promptly can help you take necessary precautions and address the issue.
