This holiday season we can all help fight scams by learning about them, talking to others, and reporting it if it happens to us. Take a few minutes to learn about two of the most common holiday scams.
Phone Scams
 Do you get multiple scam calls a day? You're not alone. Last month, Arizona residents received on average of 12 scam calls a day. Learn how to avoid these types of calls and protect your personal and financial information.
Online Shopping Scams
 Holiday shopping can be stressful. There's a lot on our minds between deciding on the right gift and finding it online or in the store. On top of it all, supply chain issues and material shortages might make it even harder to find the gifts you're looking for this year. All of this can cause you to make hasty decisions, which scammers are counting on to get access to your financial information.
