00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: there are reminding people when purchasing from a breeder or

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: an individual, always request to see the animal in person

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: first before making the purchase. Because there's a group right

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: now that's doing a holiday puppy scam and they've been

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: scamming people out of thousands of dollars by selling fake

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: puppies online. They'll approach families I don't know how they

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: find them that are looking for a puppy, maybe on

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Google or something. I don't know how they're finding them,

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: but then they will send them an email with an

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: offer of a puppy for Christmas. Officials are saying look

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: out for this scam if you're looking for a puppy

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: because they aren't sending you an actual puppy. You'll go

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: through the whole thing, you'll decide on the dog, you'll

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: get ready to have it delivered in time for Christmas.

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: But instead of a puppy, they've been sending people turtles.

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: Why Yeah, so no, you pay a thousand dollars for

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: some breed that you wanted and instead a turtle shows

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: up at your door, which is kind of awesome, but

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: then also you got robbed. But also it's like, that's

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: what you get for buying a dog online site unsane.

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: This is not like a house in a crashing market

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: where you just have to like rent the first thing

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: you can get your hands on. You Now, we're going

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: over the top scams out there right now that you

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: need to look out for, because the holidays are always

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: a time for giving, and it's always a time for

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: thieves to go, oh cool, we can use the holidays

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: to our advantage, and we can take advantage of people

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: out there trying to buy their family a puppy and

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: send them a turtle instead. They're also saying to look

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: out for social media gift exchanges, but yeah, I guess

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: variations of the same scam pop up every holiday season.

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: They typically revolve around exchanging bottles of wine, books, or

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: small all gifts, and in each version, people share their

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: personal information and it can be tricked into buying and

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: shipping gifts to unknown people. So they'll approach you on

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: social media or you'll see some sort of an ad

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: on social media for a gift exchange. Make sure you

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: do your research and make sure it's real, otherwise they're

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: just trying to get your personal information. Another scam out

50
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: there right now to look out for is alerts about

51
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: compromised accounts. Oh oh, that happened to me recently, Sorry,

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: ding ding ding. I just got an email the other

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: day that my Amazon account had been suspended, and I

54
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: went in to check it or whatever, and it was like, okay,

55
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: just verify your identity, and it wanted me to give

56
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: like my birthday address and all this stuff and redo

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: my path. And then I realized, I was like, I

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: looked at the U r L and it was not

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: an Amazon link. In the email it had said Amazon

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: dot com, but it was just some like hyperlink, you know.

61
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: And I went there and they were trying to I

62
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: was sitting there typing my information and I was like,

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: absolutely not Christian. See he did the right thing. A

64
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: lot of people won't check that I started to do that,

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: and I don't check it. I have had my identity

66
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: stolen big time before a couple times. So well, I've

67
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: had it so one time, but I've had other things

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: hacked into, probably because I don't check details very well.

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: So check the details. Because the Better Business Bureau has

70
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: received reports on scam Tracker of scams that claim to

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: people's Amazon, PayPal, Netflix, or even bank accounts are compromised.

72
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Victims are then tricked into thinking that they need to

73
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: provide personal and or financial information in order to rectify

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: their accounts, just like they tried to do to you Christians,

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: and then they get all of your stuff. My advice is,

76
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: anytime anybody asks you for personal information when they call

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: you and you weren't expecting the phone call, always go

78
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: I'll call you back with it and then see what

79
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: they do, because whenever I do that, they usually pause

80
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: and then they're like, UM, we'll call you back, or

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: they just hang up. You're kind of another scam to

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: look out for this holiday season. We're going over a

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: list of the top holiday scams out there. Free gift cards. Ah,

84
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: but they're free, and that is exactly how you get scammed. Victoria.

85
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Scammers are known to send bulk phishing emails requesting personal

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: information to receive free gift cards. I get a lot

87
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: of those. They may also use pop up ads or

88
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: send text messages with links saying that you've been selected

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: as the winner of a prize. Yeah, don't click on those.

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: It says, do not click on any of those two

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: late Victoria's over here already. Just I'm so cynical when

92
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: it comes to winning anything or just have that. I

93
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: don't buy it anyway, Right, I've never won anything. I

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: probably have one a million dollars or something and it's

95
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: in my email and I haven't clicked on it because

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, right, no way. Pretty Much, what we're
