Hi. Yeah, Target Circle week, Amazon prime day and Walmart shopping holiday all return next week. So I wanna make sure you watch out for these three scams. When you're shopping online, one, you get *** text or an email that says, hey, there's an issue with your account. Click here to update your payment info. Don't click that link or use that address instead. Go to the actual company website. It says Target go to Target directly from your own browser. Log into your account. If there's *** real issue, you're gonna find it there too. Fake social media ads. You see *** post directing you to what looks like *** real website but it could be fake. Always check the URL. Make sure it starts with this http S the S stands for Cure three. Be mindful of third party sellers. Most are legit but some could be scammers always Google the seller and check reviews and if they try to take you off the site to pay, never do that. Stay in the app. That's an immediate red flag.
