Stay Scam-Savvy This Holiday Season

The holidays are about joy, not fraud alerts — but unfortunately, scammers love this time of year just as much as we do. With more shopping, more deliveries, and more digital activity, it’s the perfect time for them to try sneaky tricks designed to catch you off guard. From fake delivery texts to phony online stores, their goal is simple: to get access to your personal or financial information.

But keeping your holidays safe and stress-free doesn’t have to be hard. A few simple habits can make all the difference:

  • Shop smart. Stick to trusted websites and always look for “https://” in the web address before entering payment details.
  • Stay alert. Ignore “urgent” texts, emails, or calls asking for personal information — even if they claim to be from your bank or a familiar company.
  • Use your tools. Set up transaction alerts in your Landings app so you can spot unusual activity right away.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, don’t click or share anything. Contact us directly — we’re always here to help.

This season should be about family, friends, and festive memories — not fraud. Let’s work together to keep your accounts secure and your holidays full of cheer.
