Holiday Scam Season Arrives And Chase Teams With Dallas Police To Share Crucial Safety Advice

As the festive season ushers in joy and generosity, it simultaneously presents an opportune moment for scammers to exploit busy shoppers. In response, Chase has collaborated with the Dallas Police Department on November 21 to equip local residents with strategies to combat prevalent fraud and scams during this time. Texan losses to fraud exceeded $920 million last year alone. To address this, Chase annually conducts over 1,000 complimentary fraud prevention workshops, with more than 20 taking place this November for International Fraud Awareness Week. Key holiday scams include: Delivery Scams: Ignore messages about delivery issues requesting personal details; these often impersonate major companies. Online Shopping Scams: Shop exclusively from reputable sites and beware of sellers demanding immediate payments. Gift Card Scams: Be cautious of requests for payment via gift cards or unreliable third-party sites.
