Lisa Skinner hosted the show today due to Lillian and Betsy both being ill. Here is the source I used for the topic I presented, which was on The Most Common Holiday Scams of 2023, and How To Avoid Becoming a Victim of One.

We learned that nearly 75% of Americans experienced at least one type of holiday scam last year, resulting in Americans losing over $281 million to online shopping and non-delivery scams last year alone - many of which took place over last year's holiday season. Some of the most common ways that scammers target us during the holiday season are:
* Through social media ads that lead us to fake online stores.
* Through fake notification texts.
* Through fraudulent charities that steal our money.
* Through bogus deals on hard-to-find items or on airline tickets.
* Through Fake surveys giveaways, and other phishing emails impersonating well-known brands
