5 Tips To Avoiding Holiday AI Scams: Protect What You've Worked For
The holidays are a time for family, giving, and celebration—but they’re also a busy season for scammers. With artificial intelligence (AI), fraudulent emails, fake shopping websites, delivery alerts, and even impersonated voices are becoming harder to recognize.
Protect your money this holiday season with five simple tips (avoiding holiday scams):
Pause Before You Pay. Scammers create urgency. Take your time before making financial decisions.
Verify Before You Respond. Confirm unexpected requests from family members, banks, or businesses using trusted contact information.
Shop Smart. Be cautious of unbelievable deals and unfamiliar shopping links.
Protect Your Information. Never share passwords, account numbers, or verification codes with unexpected callers or messages.
Watch How You Pay. Be suspicious of requests for gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
Remember: AI can make a scam look or sound real, but that doesn't make it legitimate.
At the Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP), we believe financial empowerment includes protecting the money and resources you've worked hard to build. This holiday season, protect yourself, your family, and your financial future.
Stop. Think. Verify. Protect Your Money.
