This article is talking about all the online scams of this Christmas. In a way, it is sad that people do this. They know it is not right, but they still do this. I wish there was a way that made it possible for these people to get blocked off how they can reach you.  Because of this people will be more cautious and reluctant to doing things which has it positives and negatives.

I think that this is really helpfill because you want to get the most out of your money this year. Since times are tough, you need to save as much money as you can. But also the scammers are trying to get as much money as they can get out of you. So you just have to be careful on where you buy your gifts.
