Key Highlights
- As we head into the last stretch of December (and last-minute gift shopping), your doorstep is probably busier than ever.
- And if you're anything like me, you're probably also juggling shipping updates, tracking numbers, and "out for delivery" alerts from half a dozen retailers.
- Unfortunately, scammers know this too, and they've likely been preparing for it all year.
- Like clockwork, I've already started seeing the usual wave of fake tracking texts hitting people's phones.
- They look legit, they show up right when you're expecting a package, and they rely on one inescapable truth: during the holiday rush, most of us are too overwhelmed to notice when something feels off. No need to panic, though.
