The holiday season sees a surge in online shopping and package deliveries, making it prime time for online scams and stolen packages (aka “porch pirates”).
Protect yourself by shopping only on trusted websites, avoiding suspicious links and using secure payment methods. Enable package tracking and consider delivery lockers or requiring signatures for valuable items. Monitor your bank and credit card accounts for unusual transactions and report any unauthorized charges immediately.
To further safeguard deliveries, consider installing security cameras or smart doorbells, which can deter thieves and help track incidents if they occur. Proactive measures can make the holiday season worry-free.
